Who is God? There can be no more profound or important question. In this classic work of theology, Broughton Knox examines the character of the God of the Bible: that he is living and true, that he is infinite in power, wisdom and goodness, that he is three-in-one, that he reveals himself to us in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that he is rich in mercy and grace. A mind-shifting, life-changing book for everyone who wants to know God better.
As Tony Payne writes in the intro, the book is easy to understand but not a quick read. Best digested half a chapter at a time over a cup of tea, followed by a long walk to ponder. Very worthwhile, especially for those who want to know more about: - the infallibility of Scripture - God's eternal, omnipresent nature - How Jesus can be both fully hjman and fully divine - the Trinity - Predestination
It was my first time reading a work by this Author. I read through it with one my church elders over a period of months. Knox certainly is a thinker who brings out implications of deep truths, which I appreciate. I enjoy his take on various attributes of God. There were certain statements in the book which I questioned or disagreed with, but overall, it was a worthwhile read with some pearls in here.
3.5 stars. Lots of good things regarding the basic Christian understanding of God, but, being taken from a lecture series, it doesn't excel in readability.
Knox's classic title on the nature and Character of God. An encouraging read. I didn't know whether to expect it to be 'technical' or not, but it turned out to be a very approachable book. Well worth a read
