Our great God and Saviour

Undiluted glory

OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOUR
By Eric Alexander
Banner of Truth. 189 pages. £7.50
ISBN 978-1-84871-084-9

This book began life as a series of talks given at the Philadelphia Conference of Reformed Theology, subject matter character of God, salvation of God and church of God.

These themes are examined through 16 short Bible expositions, short enough to be read by the average Christian reader for personal devotion or by someone on the go. Others in ministry should find them excellent stimulation and potential to help them minister to others.

The real test is how well they advance our knowledge of God. Allowing for a considerate prayerful approach, the reader will find themselves setting the book down to think pray and worship. Coming from the heart of such experience as Eric Alexander, this book is not just explained Bible knowledge but a window opening on the greatest subject matter known to man.

The book may lack the footnotes of research and the illustrative material some have come to expect, but what they offer instead is concise, clear and undiluted truth presented simply but not simplistically. If you are unfamiliar with Bible exposition, this book will create a desire for it and appreciation of it. This book has the potential to sit alongside the best in this subject area, to become a resource to answer questions and to have a long life on your shelf.
