Cottrell is one of the best theologians of which you've never heard. His theological training came from some of the best schools in the country under the top theologians of his day (M.Div. from Westminster Theological Seminary; Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary). Though he taught at the seminary level for nearly 50 years, he always stayed connected to the local church. One of Cottrell's gifts is his ability to take complex ideas and simplify them for the average reader. Most of his 45 books are less than 200 pages. This book (God Most High), however, is 450+ pages and is a condensed version of his previous trilogy on God (God the Creator, God the Ruler, God the Redeemer) which totaled a combined 1,500 pages. While his trilogy on God was on a scholarly level with hundreds of footnotes, this current book distills the best of those three volumes making it more accessible to pastors and students alike. Cottrell is one of the top non-reformed theologians of our day, and you will get a good sense of that from this book. If you want a deeper dive into that topic, I'd recommend the second volume from his trilogy on God (God the Ruler, found on in print elsewhere). Cottrell interacts with other ideas and always gives the reader biblical and theological clarity on issue at hand. As a general rule, Dr. Cottrell gave his copyright to the publisher - a generous and humble gift.He is also the teacher for two different video courses on Logos. Cottrell is a conservative theologian who is fiercely committed to the authority and inspiration of the Scriptures.
