You probably have some opinions of who God is and what He is like. But where do these impressions come from? The word God has come to embody a spectrum of meanings, many of them quite foreign to the Bible. Learn how God reveals Himself to us through His Word. 

This guide explores:

  • Who God is and how He relates to and reveals Himself to us.

  • What God is like, what He has done and what He expects of us. 

  • Where we can see Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.

The Scriptures contain a long history of God’s revelation of Himself to man—from Adam to Moses down through the apostles and the early Church. Discover the truth about God and what that means for your life.
