Classifications of the Attributes Theologians, both medieval and Reformed, have rather uniformly drawn up their lists of divine attributes and then have classified them under either natural and moral, absolute and relative, original and derived, active and inactive, intransitive and transitive, or—and these are the most common classifications—incommunicable and communicable attributes.23 Regardless of the preferred rankings, such choices appear to me to be highly scholastic in nature.
