A.W. Tozer argues that the decline of modern Christianity stems from a diminished conception of God. He systematically examines the divine attributes, dedicating individual chapters to concepts such as self-existence, transcendence, omniscience, and holiness. Tozer maintains that God is incomprehensible to the human mind, yet reveals his character through scripture and internal spiritual perception. The text focuses on the philosophical necessity of God’s immutability and sovereignty, asserting that a right mental image of the Creator is the foundation of all theology and moral behavior.
This book is written for religious practitioners seeking a intellectual and meditative study of classical theism. Readers use the text to correct common misconceptions about the divine nature and to move beyond superficial worship habits. It provides a framework for internalizing the majesty of God, leaving the reader with a more rigid theological vocabulary and a disciplined approach to prayer. Those who finish the work obtain a clearer understanding of how divine perfections dictate the relationship between a finite human and an infinite deity.
Deep, contemplative and clear-cut; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
