Before exploring any specific attribute of God, Tozer insists we reckon with the fundamental fact that God exceeds all our categories — and that this is not a problem to be solved but a truth to be worshipped.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Tozer argues that God is not only unknown but unknowable in His fullness — yet he also says we can truly know God. How does he hold these two things together without contradiction?
2.He uses the idea that any concept of God formed purely by the human mind will inevitably be an idol. What makes a mental image of God an idol, even if it is not a physical statue?
3.Tozer points to the mystics and the great theologians of the church who spoke of approaching God with awe and even holy silence. How does that posture compare to the way you typically approach your time with God in prayer or Bible reading?
