Product Description

It is quite one of the signs of the times that the Godhead is becoming a subject of discussion; and the doctrines connected with the Trinity and the Virgin birth, are considered as open questions, not affecting the standing or faith of a Christian. So wrote the author over 100 years ago. But if that was the case in his day, it is even more so today. However, there is another, more fundamental question, which lies beneath this. The real question is: How many of us really know the God whom we worship? Is it not the case with very many that it is the unknown God ? The true knowledge of God can be found only in the Bible and some of the highest revelation of Him is found in three of Paul s later letters: Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. However, as Christians become less familiar with the Bible there is a danger that the God they worship becomes the god of their imagination . This booklet does much to get us back on track; back to the Bible and back to knowing God.

Review
Review by Michael Penny in 'Search'. It is quite one of the signs of the times that the Godhead is becoming a subject of discussion; and the doctrines connected with the Trinity and the Virgin birth, are considered as open questions, not affecting the standing or faith of a Christian. So wrote the author over 100 years. But if that was the case in his day, how would he have reacted to the current state of affairs where as well as the. Virgin Birth being doubted (denied) so too are the resurrection and the deity of Christ. However, there is another, more fundamental, personal question, which lies beneath all this. The real question is: How many of us really know the God whom we worship? Is it not the case with very many that it we worship the unknown god ? The true knowledge of God can be found only in the Bible and some of the highest revelation of Him is found in three of Paul s later letters: Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. However, as Christians become less familiar with the Bible there is a danger that the God they worship becomes the god of their imagination . This booklet does much to get us back on tract; back to the Bible and back to knowing the true God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.. --'Search' magazine

About the Author
Ethelbert W. Bullinger D.D. (1837-1913) was a direct descendent of Heinrich Bullinger, the great Swiss reformer who carried on Zwingli s work after the latter had been killed in war. E. W. Bullinger was brought up a Methodist but sang in the choir of Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. He trained for and became an Anglican minister before becoming Secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society. He was a man of intense spirituality and made a number of outstanding contributions to biblical scholarship and broad-based evangelical Christianity. These writings on The Knowledge of God originally appeared in Things to Come between December 1906 and April 1907. Bullinger s last book, reflecting his mature views, was The Foundations of Dispensational Truth, a reprint of which is available from the Open Bible Trust
