In 'God's Greater Glory', Bruce A. Ware takes the stance that our Christian tradition can greatly enlighten us due to it being inherited from centuries of careful reflection and endeavoring to be true to the teaching of Scripture.

Furthermore, the author states that God's word is still the final authority: Nowhere is this combination of respectful listening to the wisdom of the past and faithfulness to the Bible more necessary than in our contemporary reformulations of the doctrine of God's person.

Bruce Ware believes that while tradition's emphasis on God's metaphysical perfection and His supremacy over the world is correct, we must refine our understanding of the way in which He relates to us. While retaining the deepest concerns of the historic tradition, Ware offers a more rational view of God's dealings with His children--a view that is reflected in Scripture's own testimony of Him. Ware then applies this concept of real divine exaltation and real divine-human relationship to the areas of our prayer life, confidence in God and His guidance of us.
