Summary
Increasing numbers of conservative evangelicals are denying basic tenets of classical Christian teaching about God, with departures occurring even among those of the Calvinistic persuasion. James Dolezal's All That Is in God provides an exposition of the historic Christian position while engaging with these contemporary deviations.
His convincing critique of the newer position he styles "theistic mutualism" is philosophically robust, systematically nuanced, and biblically based. It demonstrates the need to maintain the traditional viewpoint, particularly on divine simplicity, and spotlights the unfortunate implications for other important Christian doctrines, such as divine eternality and the Trinity, if it were to be abandoned. Arguing carefully and cogently that all that is in God is God himself, the work is sure to stimulate debate on the issue in years to come.

Very in-depth and worth listening to several times.
Great read and very well structured. I think I need to listen a few times to get all that was covered in a relatively short time.

Superb
I give it 5 stars because although it lacks the foreword by the brilliant Richard Muller and the preface also, the point of the work, the urgent need for the recovery and proper understanding of God's simplicity is too vital for faith and adequate apologetics. The author is incredibly erudite and his sources range across a large spectrum of the Western Church's thought on this issue, sadly the limitations of an audiobook won't really allow for footnotes, but these are sufficient reason to purchase the book which unusually is NOT priced at some ridiculous figure. I have several audiobooks where the flow of thought is endlessly interrupted to cite biblical reference and while admiring the thoroughness one would prefer the absence.
The book is passionate on its subject because in actuality the internal cohesion of the Christian faith on certain central doctrines is savagely undermined by any suggestion of change in God. Indeed it demonstrates how philosophy is essential to theology and the parroting of creeds without a sufficiently robust grasp of the philosophy that supports them will lead one into contradictory nonsense.
Of course, ultimately, the Protestant aspect of the Christian faith began in a one sided way as simple protest, where regardless of the fact that the man who declared Here I Stand soon found others to agree with him, essentially began a revolution or rebellion based on his own private interpretation of scripture, so it should be no surprise that within such a tradition each man's reason is the only master - I certainly suffer from such an heritage.
The books final chapter is worth the whole as it shows why modern evangelical versions of the Trinity are so annoying and crass and quite frankly leave the flock of Christ easy prey to the attacks of unitarian monotheists. Superb and humbling as the author conveys profound thought in a manner which one is able to follow, itself no easy task, one suspects he's imbibed much of Aquinas.
