Enriched Edition. A Reverent Meditation on the Attributes of God, Divine Majesty, and Transformative Christian WorshipBy A. W. TozerLength5h 16m
About this audiobook
The Knowledge of the Holy is A. W. Tozer's luminous meditation on the attributes of God, written as a corrective to diminished modern conceptions of the divine. In brief, aphoristic chapters, Tozer treats holiness, omniscience, sovereignty, mercy, justice, and love with theological seriousness and devotional intensity. Its style is elevated yet accessible, blending biblical exposition, doxology, and prophetic admonition. Situated within twentieth-century evangelical spirituality, the book recalls the contemplative depth of earlier Christian mysticism while addressing a church tempted toward pragmatism and superficial belief. Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897–1963), a self-taught pastor and Christian and Missionary Alliance minister, wrote from decades of preaching, prayer, and pastoral observation. His lack of formal theological training did not limit him; rather, it sharpened his dependence on Scripture, classic devotional writers, and lived spiritual experience. Concerned that worship had become casual because God had become small in the imagination of believers, Tozer composed this work to restore reverence at the center of Christian life. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking theology that is not merely analytical but transformative. It will serve pastors, students, and reflective lay readers who desire a richer doctrine of God and a deeper life of worship.
