Theology
Knowing God
by J.I. Packer
Synopsis
J.I. Packer's Knowing God has guided millions of readers into a deeper understanding of who God is and what it means to truly know Him. Packer distinguishes between knowing about God — collecting theological facts — and actually knowing God in a personal, relational way. Across its chapters, the book unpacks the attributes of God (His wisdom, love, sovereignty, wrath, and grace), the nature of adoption into God's family, and the adequacy of God's guidance. Written with the warmth of a pastor and the precision of a theologian, Knowing God bridges the gap between academic doctrine and living faith. It remains one of the most recommended theology books of the twentieth century.
Who Should Read This?
Every Christian who wants to move beyond surface-level faith into a richer knowledge of God's character. New believers will find a compelling introduction to theology, while mature Christians will rediscover the depth of truths they may have taken for granted. Especially recommended for small group study.
