WHAT IS GOD?

Review "..this is theology at its core - the very doctrine of God - and theology at it's best, informative, challenging, readable. It should be widely read." -- Dr S. Westcott"Deploring current ‘rampant theological illiteracy', Prof. Reymond directs us in an enthralling way to the one who alone can give us such a knowledge. His remarks are calculated to stir up adoring wonder at God's glorious greatness. Clearly bathed in prayer, each lecture is preceded and closed with prayer. When the Spirit Himself breathes through each exposition and application, the reader will long to see God as He is; know Him as he/she is known; love, honour and obey him as he deserves, and weep over his/her ignorance and trivial thoughts of him. In his passage through the series, the author does not hesitate to expose and condemn the false doctrines of God held by Romanism, Judaism and Islam. An Excellent Study." -- Peace and Truth, 2007:3 God has been downgraded! Can you recognise the God of the Bible from what churches say? Many seem to think that God is limited, primitive and unenlightened. Can you recognise God from scientific announcements? Many scientists are boxed into a self limiting corner, only thinking in exclusively materialistic ways and limiting possibilities open to previous generations of gorund breaking scientific endeavour. Can you recognise God from the media? here religion is only news so long as someone is using God's name in reprehensible way. So it is surprising then, that many people do not know what God is like? The apostle Paul said that everyone on some level already knows that God exists (even atheists!). So the more important question exists but 'What is God' This is the question that Robert Reymond sets out to answer in his book. About the Author Robert L.
