PREFACE
The Holy Spirit in the Bible has used for the Deity those human terms father and son to convey to our mind a
familiar relationship. It can be both an exercise in true worship and the acquisition of profitable knowledge to study
the titles that God has recorded for Himself in His relationship to us and creation. While the author has endeavoured
to follow his rule to give positive teaching rather than to point out the errors of others, there has nevertheless been
the need for reviewing the creeds and opinions of orthodoxy on the person of God. These latter statements of belief
implanted in childhood, inevitably colour our thoughts of God. To test such beliefs with God's own Word will
strengthen our own faith and ability to witness for the Gospel.
Much of this book has appeared in early and later volumes of The Berean Expositor and because of the topical
nature of this subject and the several requests we have had to republish as a complete book, the present volume is
issued with the prayer that it may be a help to many in their worship of God.
