God doesn't just have a name — he is a name, and that name carries a whole theology of presence, relationship, and covenant.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Comer draws out the significance of the divine name "Yahweh" — often rendered LORD in our English Bibles — and explains that it comes from the Hebrew verb "to be." How does knowing that God's name is essentially "I AM" change how you think about who he is?
2.Many of us grew up with the word "God" as a kind of generic title rather than a personal name. Comer argues this matters more than we realize. What is the difference between a title and a name in terms of the kind of relationship it implies?
3.The author points out that Yahweh is the most frequently occurring name for God in the Old Testament — appearing thousands of times — yet most English readers never see it because it's translated as LORD. Were you aware of this before reading this chapter? How does recovering the personal name change how you might read familiar passages?
