Divine Attributes

I'm about to start teaching a philosophy of religion course. Although such courses tend to focus on the question of whether God exists, mine will deal with "divine attributes" or properties that are typically ascribed to God/divine beings.  We'll consider properties like omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, immaterial and eternal.  I'm hoping readers of this blog will suggest other properties--perhaps ones that are less commonly discussed by philosophers--for us to consider in my class.  I'm also hoping to get suggestions about texts that we could use.  Thanks!
