The bestselling Christian classic on who God is.
Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God's holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don't quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. With depth and eloquence, this timely book addresses:
- What Sproul calls the "trauma of holiness"
- How we reconcile God's justice with his love
- How to know if we are moving forward in our pursuit of righteousness
Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.
I walked by my copy of this classic book the other day and opened it randomly. I could not put it down until I had finished the compelling analogy Sproul was unfolding. That's the way it is over and over with me. Sproul is one of a kind in the way he combines depth and clari-ty and biblical realism to every topic he addresses. The Holiness of God is my favorite of his books because it is most central. It is who God is.--John Piper, Chancellor of Bethlehem College and Seminary
When I first heard R. C. Sproul's teaching on the holiness of God, it brought me face-to-face with the awful splendor of God's majestic holiness in a new and fresh way. I was smitten with the realization that holiness is not merely a peripheral attribute of God; it is at the core of all He is and does. I realized then that this was precisely the message the church of our generation urgently needed--and still needs today. Nearly a decade after I first heard this series, the message still challenges my thinking and rekindles my heart.--John MacArthur, Pastor of Grace Community Church
Dr. R.C. Sproul (1939–2017) was a pastor, theologian, and trusted teacher. Most fundamentally, he was a man in awe of the holiness of God.
