Moody – Names of God

Back Cover

Names like Adonai, Elohim, El-Shaddai, and Jehovah can sound foreign to our modern ears. In ancient times, more so than today, names held great significance - a name represented who a person really was: it described their character. The same can be said of the names of God.

Originally delivered as a radio Bible study, Stone's work draws from his early Jewish education. "To show not only the significance of the names of God in the Old Testament, but that they find their complement and fulfillment in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ in the New."

As foreword writer Ann Spangler suggests, "Learning about these names and titles can help us to experience more of the love, power, and holiness of the God we revere."

Nathan J. Stone writes, “Indeed we cannot say all that the mysterious word God means to us until we know more about Him.”

God’s many names reveal not only different dimensions of His character but also point to their fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. This insightful little book accurately and clearly works through the many names of God throughout the Old Testament. We can now see God in new lights and angles as we learn of His justice, His unbounded love, His preeminence, and His character--all through His names. This book has sold over 400,000 copies.
