A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of
this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry
during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the
deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each
generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a
theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal
relationship of yielding to him and living according to his
biblical precepts. Pink??'s book explores attributes such as
God??'s decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and
mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful
for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all
names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches,
but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through
his living Word. Arthur W. Pink (1886???1952) served as a pastor
for churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
His ministry brought him throughout the United States, Australia,
and Great Britain.
The words Christ spoke from the cross can inform Christians of the
purpose, the meaning, the sufferings, and the sufficiency of his
death. After an introduction that discusses the nature of Christ's
death as natural, unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural, Dr.
Arthur W. Pink clearly illustrates the lessons that can be drawn
from Christ's words-lessons on forgiveness, salvation, affection,
anguish, suffering, victory, and contentment. This comprehensive
and accessible volume is useful for both sermon preparation and
personal study.
The question of profiting from Scripture provides the theme for
this book, originally published as a series in Studies in the
Scriptures.
An unforgettably beautiful picture of our Lord is drawn for God's
people in the beloved Gospel of John. The promises in this Fourth
Gospel have brought to weary hearts down through the centuries the
sudden delight of the traveler who, crossing a desert, suddenly
comes upon the cool, tranquil comfort of a green-bordered oasis.
Thoroughly scholastic and yet vigorously practical, this exposition
of the beloved Gospel (a verse-by-verse running commentary) is not
a "hasty production." The author has already devoted fifteen years
of special study to John's Gospel and taught the book to five
different classes in the course of as many pastorates besides
lecturing on it frequently from the Bibles conference platform. He
has diligently sought to do two things (and accomplished them with
praiseworthy distinction): (1) obtain from God the meaning of the
text, and (2) apply its lessons most effectively to his hearers and
readers.
"Opinion has been much divided concerning the design, scope, and
application of the Sermon on the Mount. Most commentators have seen
in it an exposition of Christian ethics. Men such as the late Count
Tolstoi have regarded it as the setting forth of a "golden rule"
for all men to live by. Others have dwelt upon its dispensational
bearings, insisting that it belongs not to the saints of the
present dispensation but to believers within a future millennium.
Two inspired statements, however, reveal its true scope. In Matthew
5:1, 2, we learn that Christ was here teaching His disciples. From
Matthew 7:28, 29, it is clear that He was also addressing a great
multitude of the people. Thus it is evident that this address of
our Lord contains instruction both for believers and unbelievers
alike." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist
and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and
Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to
conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult
gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly
rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his
father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse,
Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck
his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
"The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear mental
apprehension of His perfections as revealed in Holy Scripture. An
unknown God can neither be trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this
booklet an effort has been made to set forth some of the principal
perfections of the Divine character. If the reader is to truly
profit from his perusal of the pages that follow, he needs to
definitely and earnestly beseech God to bless them to him, to apply
His Truth to the conscience and heart, so that his life will be
transformed thereby. "Something more than a theoretical knowledge
of God is needed by us. God is only truly known in the soul as we
yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all
the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments."
