The Full Character of God: Recovering the Whole Biblical Vision of Who He Is (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995803676)

Who is God-really?

In an age of shallow theology and selective truth, many have embraced a version of God shaped more by preference than by Scripture. Some speak of His love while ignoring His holiness. Others emphasize His wrath while forgetting His goodness. Some magnify mercy but weaken justice. Others defend sovereignty in ways that make God seem cold, distant, or unlike the Father revealed in His Word.

But God must be known as He truly is.

The Full Character of God is a substantial, Scripture-driven study calling readers to recover the whole biblical vision of who God is. In more than 550 pages, Jeff C. Edwards carefully walks through the attributes of God-His holiness, glory, goodness, righteousness, justice, truth, faithfulness, love, mercy, grace, patience, kindness, wisdom, sovereignty, wrath, and consuming fire-showing why no one attribute can be isolated from the rest without distorting the God of the Bible.

This book is not merely a study of theology for theology's sake. It is a call to deeper worship, stronger doctrine, greater trust, and more faithful interpretation of Scripture. It shows how a partial view of God leads to doctrinal error, weakens assurance, confuses the Christian life, and diminishes the glory of Christ. But when God is known according to the full witness of Scripture, His people are steadied, humbled, corrected, and drawn into deeper reverence and joy.

Careful, weighty, and pastoral, The Full Character of God is written for readers who want more than devotional generalities. It is for those who want to know the living God more fully, think more biblically, worship more deeply, and come to Jesus Christ, in whom the Father is truly made known.

If you have ever felt that modern Christianity often speaks of God too lightly, too narrowly, or too selectively, this book is a call back to the whole counsel of God.
