The Holiness of God

The Holiness of God is a look at the meaning of holiness and why people are both fascinated and terrified by a holy God. It is a profound, moving investigation of the character of God, particularly that aspect of God -- holiness -- that defines all we are and do as Christians. R. C. Sproul says, "It affects every aspect of our lives -- economics, politics, athletics, romance -- everything with which we are involved." From Rudolph Otto's mysterium tremendum to Martin Luther's "insanity" to Jonathan Edwards' fiery sermons, Dr. Sproul's challenging exploration of history and the Bible will carry you into a fresh understanding of the meaning of justice, sin, and grace and how these matters compel us to live each day. -- Back cover.
