John Feinberg: No One Like Him
Feinberg’s book is especially useful to scholars, as it provides the depth and critical analysis expected for a book of this nature. It shows that some teachings, which may appear simple on the surface, are anything but simple to grasp. Still, because of the approach used and the topics covered, the book would also be good resource for young Christians and students of the Scriptures. Given the length of the book and the attention it requires to appreciate, it is not likely that one can merely skim its contents and become an authority over night. Still, if read slowly, where each section is absorbed over time, the concepts and arguments presented can result in a better understanding and appreciation of God and His mighty works toward humanity.
Feinberg set out to show that God is one and there is no one like Him. He aimed to show how a study about God could be relevant to practical living. In doing this, he argued for the importance of the subject and its relation to the issues of today. His effort was undoubtedly ambitious. However, he clearly achieved what he set out to do. As a result, the church has a volume that sheds critical light on the doctrine of God. It is a volume that helps one to see that the God of the Scriptures is indeed Who He claims to be—and there is no one like Him.
