But what of a complementary<em>&nbsp;theo<\/em>-logical approach to Scripture, one which focuses on the Bible\u2019s main &#8220;characters&#8221; \u2014 God and human beings \u2014 and the nature of their relationship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard Brash presents such an approach, introducing six theological keys to Scripture which help us better to know God and ourselves in the three fundamental areas of being, knowing, and acting. At each stage, he develops the theme of the gracious condescension of the infinite, incomprehensible, and holy God in his relation to finite human beings: creating us as his image, establishing a proportion between his own knowledge and ours, and overcoming sin to take a people for himself through the love-gifts of his Son and his Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for an enlarged vision of God and a renewed understanding of your own vocation before the Lord, take up this book and be refreshed in your love for God in heart, soul, and mind.<br><br>Available in English <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ivpbooks.com\/knowing-me-knowing-god\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlpm.or.jp\/\">\u3044\u306e\u3061\u306e\u3053\u3068\u3070\u793e<\/a> in partnership with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cbipress.ish-cbi.or.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\">CBI Press<\/a>.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Bible, God gives us knowledge of\u00a0himself and of\u00a0ourselves, so that through &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5529,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,22,200,87],"tags":[142],"class_list":["post-3732","book","type-book","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bible-and-theology","category-book","category-cbi-press-books","category-en","tag-systematic-theology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book\/3732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/book"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book\/3732\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7365,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book\/3732\/revisions\/7365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
