"If there is one characteristic of God that must be embraced and is, in fact, at core of who God is, mark it down, it is not God's love but His holiness. From Jesus' prayer in which His first petition was "hallowed by thy name", it is clear that while God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, we must also understand that He will by no means clear the guilty. Holiness is a cut above, a level of authority and power that no one else even comes close to, and we who have been saved have been set aside and called by God to "be holy for I am holy." We must also realize that this holiness is not of ourselves; we are not saved or holy because of our own righteousness, but because God deems us holy because of who He is. This book by R.C. Sproul will radically change your view on God's character and His primary characteristic, why He did what He did and continues to do as He wills. It may even provide some answers to very deep and thought provoking questions that many ask today, such as "Why would a good and loving God tell Israel to kill an entire people, women, men, and children?" Amazing read, and worth reading again to drive home that God is holy above all else and there is no other like Him."

    " An excellent, simple book by a very deep theologian, The Holiness of God gives a well-rounded view of the considerations of the Lord's set-apartness. Every chapter approaches the central idea differently, from an exegesis on Isaiah 6 to a look at Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" to a mini-bio of Luther. A book of substance, and a must for all Christian bookshelves. "

    " It's been a long time since I did this book in study, and I still cite Sproul's compelling argument regarding God's principal attribute: holiness. God is loving, fatherly, merciful, just, and so on, but above all he is holy, and don't you forget it. "

    " A good exposition and exploration of the largely foreign concept of holiness. I especially liked his idea of Jesus as the fulfilment of Jacob's ladder, and his chapter on The Insanity of Luther (great friggin' title, yes?). A goodn'. "

    " Probably should have started with this book (versus Chosen by God). The holiness of God has taken back seat in today's church filled with the "God is Love" doctrines. Sproul shows how His Holiness and Sovereignty are freeing to the believer. "
