Coppedge A Portraits of God
IVP US 2009 0830838643 / 9780830838646 Paperback
[Number in stock: 5]
What is God like?
Answering this is the great quest of human existence.
Because God is so different from us, we struggle to describe him. While doctrinal statements about God certainly have their place in Christian understanding, the Bible more often uses God's actions and roles to help us know him better. Indeed, some of the most helpful insights in Scripture arise when God is compared to something else: a rock, an eagle or a tower. And many human metaphors -- metaphors taken from the world of actions and relationships -- bring us even closer to understanding God.
In Portraits of God, Allan Coppedge suggests we look carefully at God as our Father, Redeemer, King, Judge, Priest and Creator. These portraits taken together give us an understanding of the Holy One for which no single category is adequate. These images work their way through the whole of Scripture. They are the doorway allowing us into the mysteries of God's very being.
In Portraits of God, Coppedge offers a comprehensive survey, picturing a God who wants to be known personally and who has profoundly communicated himself. Coppedge finds the inexhaustible nature of God to be one of holiness reflected in and best described by the language of diverse roles. Approaching God in this way transforms us, as churches and individuals, to reflect God's own holy character.
This is a book for students, pastors and churchgoers alike. Anyone desiring to know more deeply and wholly the Christian God revealed in the Bible will find in Portraits of God a treasure of scholarship and truth.
Allan Coppedge is Beeson Professor of Christian Theology at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, where he has taught for more than thirty years. He has written Shaping the Wesleyan Message: John Wesley in Theological Debate and The Biblical Principles of Discipleship and coauthored In His Image: A Workbook on Scriptural Holiness. He holds the Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in England and is president of the Barnabas foundation, a discipleship training organization for students and local churches.
