The Unknown God

Twenty-first-century Americans live in an age of information overload. Through our computers, phones, and even watches we are able to access information within seconds. However, access to information does not necessarily translate into knowledge.

When Paul visited Athens in the first century, although he was impressed with the people's spirituality, he was distressed by an inscription he read on an altar: "To an unknown God" (Acts 17:23). In the verses that follow, Paul seeks to dispel the Athenians' misconception, providing a detailed description of God.

Twenty-first-century Christians can benefit from Paul's reminder. God is not unknown, for God is revealed through Scripture and through human experience. Scripturally, Jesus's character and ministry and scriptural prophecy and revelation show us who God is. Outside of Scripture, God is revealed through nature and human interaction.

Each section of this book will lead readers toward a better understanding of the God they worship.
