This book investigates whether the concept of maximal greatness serves as a necessary and sufficient condition for defining divinity. Daniel W. Hill Jr. utilizes analytical philosophy to deconstruct the traditional attributes of the divine, evaluating how these qualities interact within a logical framework. By examining the coherence of these attributes, the author seeks to establish a rigorous definition of divinity that withstands philosophical scrutiny.

Scholars and students of philosophy of religion often utilize this text to engage with contemporary debates surrounding the nature of the divine. Readers frequently note the analytical density of the prose, which requires a foundational understanding of metaphysical terminology to fully grasp the author's arguments.
