386 p. ; hbk ; 24 cm. "In this, the second volume in Stanley Grenz's Matrix of Christian Theology, the theologian examines the long-standing trajectory of thought that has equated the concept of Being with the God of the Bible - and thus claimed that the ontological category of Being is the guiding concept by which God should be understood. Grenz extends the engagement between Christian theology and the Western philosophical tradition and focuses the discussion on the importance of naming, particularly given that the Christian God is both named and triune" -- BOOK JACKET.
