The Knowledge of the Holy - A. W. Tozer

In The Knowledge of the Holy, A.W. Tozer argues that the modern Church’s spiritual decline stems from a diminished and unworthy concept of God. He asserts that regaining a sense of divine majesty is essential for true worship, as our internal mental image of God shapes our entire moral and spiritual life. To facilitate this recovery, Tozer examines various divine attributes, such as God’s self-existence, infinitude, and immutability, defining them as what God has revealed to be true about Himself. He emphasizes that while the triune God remains fundamentally incomprehensible to human reason, He can be intimately known through faith and love in the person of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the text serves as a reverent call for believers to elevate their thoughts of the Creator, moving beyond mere theological definitions to a transformative personal encounter with the Almighty.
