Stream or download the audio recording from this breakout panel titled The Priority of Scripture in Our Doctrine of God with John Currie, David Garner, Jonny Gibson and Scott Oliphint that was held at The Gospel Coalition’s 2019 National Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. We recognize that God is sovereign, but we also read in Scripture that God relents. We pray to a God of compassion, but we confess that God has no passions. If we are to have a relationship with our Creator, we should know what kind of God he is and how he relates to us. In this workshop we tried to bridge the gap between various doctrines of God and how Scripture talks about its Author.
