Knowing God Through His Names

Knowing God Through His Names

What God invites us to call him says volumes about his relationship to us.

Overview

We have heard God's name invoked often following the national tragedy of September 11 and its anticipated consequences. "God Bless America" has rapidly become our new, if unofficial, national motto. Everywhere we look, the Almighty is addressed simply as "God." But he is known in the Bible by many names. Why? In this study, Ken Hemphill, author of The Names of God (Broadman & Holman, 2001), describes some of the names of God and the reasons for his multi-faceted self-revelation.
