Packer writes, "A little knowledge of God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about Him." The book aims to move the reader from mere theological observation to spiritual participation.

En su libro "El conocimiento del Dios santo", J.I. Packer nos ofrece una exploración profunda y accesible de la doctrina de Dios. Con una claridad y precisión características de su estilo, Packer nos guía a través de las Escrituras para revelarnos la gloria y la majestad de Dios.

(Capítulos 16-22): Aplicaciones para la vida cristiana: el hijo pródigo, el resplandor de Dios, el juicio, el corazón del evangelio (la propiciación) y la libertad del creyente.

The book is a masterclass in bridging the gap between profound theological depth and accessible, devotional warmth. Packer famously distinguished between knowing about God and knowing God. He argued that one can have a Ph.D. in divinity and yet not know God at all, just as one can memorize a map of a country without ever having visited its landscapes.
