A modern classic of Christian testimony and devotion, The Knowledge of the Holy shows us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply, and experience God’s presence in our daily lives.

Tozer illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. 

This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A popular book on the attributes of God, and one that is readable!" -- Eternity

"Recovers lost aspects of the biblical faith for contemporary Christianity." -- Book News Letter

From the Inside Flap

This classic of Christian testimony and devotion explores the attributes of God in words that fly straight to the heart. A superb aid to strengthening and deepening the spiritual life, each chapter begins with a prayer, lucidly discusses a divine aspect--from God's infinity to God's love--and relates that aspect to today's world, while pointing always to God's wonder and inscrutability.

Tozer asserts that the cause of many of our modern spiritual woes is the loss in today's church of a lofty concept of God. He argues persuasively that the cure lies in our rediscovery of God's majesty. "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us," he writes. "The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God." The Knowledge of the Holy bears eloquent witness to the concept of God's majesty, encourages reverent meditation on the being of God, and offers a way to bring back spiritual power to our lives.

    A. W. TOZER (1897–1963) began his lifelong pursuit of God after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio, at the age of seventeen. The self-taught theologian committed his life to the ministry of God’s Word as a pastor, teacher, and writer. For his flowing prose, Spirit-filled words, and deep conviction, many have called him a modern-day prophet. He is the author of the beloved classic The Pursuit of God and dozens of other works.

This is a great book if you want to immerse yourself in learning about many of the attributes of God. Each chapter is only a few pages long which makes Tozer’s writing succinct and to the point. highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Describing the Indescribable
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2010

This small book is, in fact, a very big book.

And a very heavy one as well. The author makes clear what's at stake on page 2, writing, "It is my opinion that the Christian conception of God current in these middle years of the twentieth century is so decadent as to be utterly beneath the dignity of the Most High God and actually to constitute for professed believers something amounting to a moral calamity". And he goes on, "All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with the overwhelming problem of God: That He is; what He is like; and what we as moral beings must do about Him".

But how can man, the creature, put words around his Creator? How do we describe the indescribable?

Tozer quotes the Spanish mystic Miguel de Molinas, "We think more loftily of God, by knowing that He is incomprehensible, and above our understanding, than by conceiving Him under any image, and creature beauty, according to our rude understanding".

The means the author finds to talk about that which is really beyond words is through a discussion of the attributes of God. Attributes, in this context, are "whatever God has in any way revealed as being true of Himself". And so in talking about these attributes of God, God Himself is not limited or contained; no claim is made as to their completeness. In this way Tozer finds the path to use words in describing God without diminishing Him through the limits of language.

The revealed truths that he takes us through are God's triune nature, His self-existence, His self-sufficiency, His eternity, His infinitude, His immutability, His omniscience, His wisdom, His omnipotence, His transcendence, His omnipresence, His faithfulness, His goodness, His justice, His mercy, His grace, His love, His holiness, and His sovereignty.

What did God say when Moses asked how He should be referred to? He said, "This is what you are to say to the Israelites, `I Am has sent me to you'".

This little book has changed me for the better, because I received a clearer picture of the majesty of God. I read it as a daily devotion book, taking one aspect of God at a time. There were sentences that stopped me in my tracks. I had to think on them for a while. I have finished, but I’m going to read it again beginning tomorrow. It’s too rich to begin to think I comprehended it all!

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

With just a few pages given to each attribute, I loved how he emphasized that WE think systematically about each attribute as separate things, but God IS all of them equally and simultaneously and necessarily, or He would not be God as revealed in Scripture. This really helped my thinking on God. I knew it, but not quite like this before. Excellent little book.

The Author provides a glimpse of understanding about our AWESOME LORD GOD, Creator and Savior. Who is beyond our comprehension. However, He has condescended to reveal Himself through Scripture and provide HIMSELF as a substitute for our sin. By HIS Grace Alone. A very good read!
