The Nearness of God: His Presence with His People (Explorations in Biblical Theology)
"This is an encouraging and helpful book by an insightful and seasoned scholar. . . . Lanier Burns sheds much light on a wonderful but neglected biblical theme -- God's presence. Readers will find their theology deepened, their hope rekindled, and their joy increased." --Christopher W. Morgan, Professor of Theology, California Baptist University Riverside, CA"Our twenty-first century world flounders as never before, trying to find a spiritual center of gravity. Here is a contemporary, yet scholarly, text to stabilize, strengthen, and encourage seeking hearts. Burns shoots his arrows straight to the Problem-Solver, the ultimate, easily understood Answer for inner peace of mind. I highly recommend this excellent tool for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone in pursuit of ultimate truth." --Howard G. Hendricks, Distinguished Professor, Chairman, Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary"God's presence is no minor topic as [The Nearness of God] shows so beautifully. God with us is about how he draws near. So draw near to this fine book and draw nearer to God." --Darrell Bock, Research Professor of NT Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary"Our twenty-first century world flounders as never before, trying to find a spiritual center of gravity.
