"The majority of us believe in the concept of god. Yet, too often this is a god of our creation. It is a god who thinks like us, looks like us, and serves us. It is a god who makes us feel good, makes our lives comfortable, or keeps us safe. This god has become something akin to a personal deity with special powers to protect, to bring prosperity, and to bless our opinions and prejudices. This god is an imposter who masquerades as the absolute, awesome Creator. Is there any like the Creator God? No, there is none." Humanity has long been on a journey to connect to God. Who is this God? Why and where does he send us? The Great Commission is not just about traveling to the ends of the earth. It is about coming to the end of ourselves--our wealth, our power, our ability, and our lives. This journey begins and ends with a view of God's glory and love. In taking this journey, we discover our purpose in life and our part in making God known. God's Renown is more than a book for knowledge about God or a workbook to complete. It is a pathway toward transformation of life. Encounter God and invigorate your perspective of the local church and the peoples of the world. Mike Stroope invites you to join him on a journey to God and all peoples.

In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.
