The bestselling Christian classic on who God is.

Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God's holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don't quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear."

R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. With depth and eloquence, this timely book addresses:

• What Sproul calls the "trauma of holiness"
• How we reconcile God's justice with his love
• How to know if we are moving forward in our pursuit of righteousness

Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

From the Back Cover

Are you intrigued by God's holiness, or are you terrified?
Encountering God's holy presence, R. C. Sproul argues, is a terrifying experience and the only way to cure our propensity to trust in ourselves and our own righteousness for salvation. In The Holiness of God, one of the classic theological works of our time, you will gain a better understanding of how having a biblical picture of God's holiness is foundational to God-honoring theology and Christian living.
