Resource Review \/ Recommendation:\u00a0\u201cThe Knowledge of the Holy,\u201d by A. W. Tozer<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve often opined that too many current ministry and\u00a0theology resources are simply rehashing and rephrasing the classic works of our\u00a0faith. It seems\u00a0fewer and fewer people are producing seminal, original,\u00a0inspired works like those of our spiritual predecessors. With that opinion,\u00a0many times I\u2019ve chosen to\u00a0step back and read the quoted-classic over its\u00a0summary in a newer work. Such is the case with Tozer\u2019s KOTH.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a small book, power-packed with deep insights into the\u00a0character and nature of God. Using very few words, Tozer still manages to\u00a0challenge the reader\u2019s\u00a0thoughts about Who God is and recalibrate our\u00a0conception of Him to the revelation of Scripture. The first chapter is aptly\u00a0titled, \u201cThinking Rightly About God.\u201d\u00a0Each chapter that follows, addresses a\u00a0different attribute of God and the implications of that divine attribute on\u00a0our mortal existence. It\u2019s not reading for the\u00a0faint-of-heart, and it probably\u00a0will be overwhelming for HS and MS students; rather, it\u2019s a personal trainer\u00a0for leaders\u2013 an exercise in making the heart and\u00a0spirit stronger and more sound in\u00a0doctrine. I highly recommend this devotional\u2013 a classic work for personal study, and\u00a0its effects will come out in your teaching and\u00a0preaching.<\/p>\n

A menudo opino que demasiados recursos actuales de teolog\u00eda y ministerio est\u00e1n simplemente repitiendo y reformulando las obras cl\u00e1sicas de nuestra fe. Parece que cada vez menos personas producen obras seminales, originales e inspiradas como las de nuestros antecesores espirituales. Con esa opini\u00f3n, muchas veces he elegido dar un paso atr\u00e1s y leer el cl\u00e1sico citado sobre su resumen en un trabajo m\u00e1s nuevo. Tal es el caso con KOTH de Tozer. Es un libro peque\u00f1o, lleno de poder con profundos conocimientos sobre el car\u00e1cter y la naturaleza de Dios. Usando muy pocas palabras, Tozer todav\u00eda se las arregla para desafiar los pensamientos del lector acerca de Qui\u00e9n es Dios y recalibrar nuestra concepci\u00f3n de \u00c9l con la revelaci\u00f3n de las Escrituras. El primer cap\u00edtulo se titula acertadamente, \"Pensando correctamente acerca de Dios\". Cada cap\u00edtulo que sigue, aborda un atributo diferente de Dios y las implicaciones de ese atributo divino en nuestra existencia mortal. No es lectura para los d\u00e9biles de coraz\u00f3n, y probablemente ser\u00e1 abrumador para los estudiantes de HS y MS; m\u00e1s bien, es un entrenador personal para l\u00edderes, un ejercicio para hacer que el coraz\u00f3n y el esp\u00edritu sean m\u00e1s fuertes y m\u00e1s s\u00f3lidos en la doctrina. Recomiendo altamente este devocional, un trabajo cl\u00e1sico para el estudio personal, y sus efectos aparecer\u00e1n en tu ense\u00f1anza y predicaci\u00f3n.
