Rev. Jerome Julien (United Reformed Churches in North America): “The key to understanding Reformed doctrine, and certainly the theology of Rev. Herman Hoeksema, is found in the title of the first chapter in this book: ‘God is God.’ This truth sets the tone for all thirteen chapters—six on God and seven on man. Each chapter on God directs the reader’s attention to a different biblical aspect of the sovereign of the universe: God as God, as creator, as Lord, as good, as the living God, and as love. The seven chapters about man open the biblical teaching about a subject often misinterpreted today. Clear explanation is given concerning man’s covenantal relationship to God, his creation in the image of God, his fall, and his totally depraved nature. Like the chapters in part one, these also emphasize that God is God. Knowing God and Man is an excellent introduction to the author’s theology. Hoeksema’s penetrating analysis provides spiritual food for those hungering and thirsting after God’s righteousness and not their own.”
“The overriding theme of this series of messages is ‘God is God.’ If the Church could base its terms of reference around this central theme, then much of the confusion that so undermines its message to the world would be sorted” (English Churchman).

“I am very happy with the books. I am reading Knowing God and Man now. I learned a lot from it and it is a blessing for me. So in the future I hope to order more of [Herman Hoeksema’s] books.” – Netherlands
