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 chapterssix on God and seven on man.
Each chapter on God directs the readers 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 mans 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 authors theology. Hoeksemas penetrating analysis provides spiritual food for those hungering and thirsting after Gods righteousness and not their own.
