Summary

Matthew Barrett is the associate professor of Christian Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas, MO. Matthew joins in to chat about his latest work, None Greater: The Undomesticated Attributes of God.If you’re wondering what Matthew means by the word “undomesticated,” you’re not alone! Could it be that—because of our fallen, limited abilities to apprehend the infinite attributes of God—we tend to try and “tame” Him, or “pull Him down” to our level? Are those immutable attributes what make Him worthy of worship? Don’t miss this thoughtful conversation about the relationship between the doctrine of God and His divine attributes.Show Notes· David Bentley Hart· Stephen Charnock· Herman BavinckWe are pleased to give away a few copies of None Greater. Register for the opportunity to win. The copies are a complimentary gift of Baker Books.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:25.5	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.6	Let's join this week's conversation.

1:27.0	Matthew, first of all, thanks for coming on with us today.
1:29.8	Thank you for having me.
1:32.0	I think I'd spoken to you before, and I had told you that when I was at Midwestern Baptist

1:42.1	It was in the mid-90s, and Midwestern was kind of the last
1:47.3	Southern Baptist seminary to kind of turn around, to make the shift. And one of my systematic
1:53.4	theology professors was a process theologian. And so it's a very, very different place now, which I'm thankful for.
2:02.6	And Professor Barrett represents what is new about the seminary.
2:09.6	And as a result, I mean, when I went there, I think we had around 500 students.
