Theophany: A Biblical Theology Of Gods Appearing (Paperback)

Theophany, A Biblical Theology Of Gods Appearing

Each time God appears to his people throughout the Bible—in the form of a thunderstorm, a man, a warrior, a chariot, and so on—he comes to a specific person for a specific purpose. And each of these temporary appearances—known as theophanies—helps us to better understand who he is and anticipates his climactic, permanent self-revelation in the incarnation of Christ.

Exploring the various accounts of God’s visible presence from Genesis to Revelation, theologian Vern S. Poythress helps us to consider more deeply what they reveal about who God is and how he dwells with us today.
