God is all-powerful. God is all-knowing. God is ever-present. But is God humble?

Though the answer may seem obvious, humility is rarely identified as one of God's attributes. Christianity has traditionally emphasized an array of divine attributes centering around omnipotence. In Divine Humility, Matthew Wilcoxen attempts to supplement traditional study of the godhead by focusing on God's humility.

Wilcoxen first examines how to refer properly to God's being. Contending with those who say that human concepts cannot communicate God's being at all, Wilcoxen articulates an account of theological concepts that holds together simultaneously both God's objectivity--that he is for us--and God's subjectivity--that he remains yet totally free. Wilcoxen argues that the concept best positioned to achieve this objective is humility, which, in the Christian tradition, has been considered the paragon of virtues and should thus fittingly be attributed to God's character.
