The Attributes of God presents a profound exploration of the nature of the divine, based on the esteemed Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of St. Andrews between 1924 and 1925. Lewis Richard Farnell, a distinguished scholar of classical history and comparative religion, applies a rigorous analytical framework to the various concepts of deity across historical and theological traditions. The work delves into the essential characteristics traditionally ascribed to the divine, including omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection, while examining how these attributes have evolved and been interpreted through different cultural lenses.

Throughout the text, Farnell bridges the gap between classical mythology and systematic theology, offering a comparative perspective that highlights both the commonalities and distinct differences in the human understanding of God. By scrutinizing the philosophical underpinnings of religious thought, the author provides a comprehensive overview of the intellectual challenges and insights inherent in natural theology. The Attributes of God remains a significant contribution to the study of religious philosophy, valued for its historical depth and its critical examination of the concepts that shape religious belief and metaphysical inquiry.
