Knowing God

TL;DR — Packer’s 1973 work of popular theology — the book that shaped how a generation of evangelicals thought about God.

J. I. Packer, 409 pages.

One of the most widely read works of twentieth-century popular theology: an exposition of the divine attributes written for lay readers without condescending to them. Packer’s insistence is that theology is not an academic exercise but the thing that determines how a life is lived — knowing about God against knowing God.

It has sold in the millions and is still assigned. A primary source for modern evangelical thought, and unusually well written.
