This work by Andrew Jukes is a scholarly examination in depth of the names of God in both Testaments, such as Elohim, Jehovah, El Shaddai, Adonai. The author shows how the different names of God display the unity rather than the disunity of Holy Scriptures. The Foreword by Charles R. Wood notes that the chapters embodied in this work were originally given as a series of lectures in 1882.

The Scriptures reveal the person and perfections of God using many different names for God. The various names used in reference to God are examined in relationship to their purpose, virtues, and characteristics. Some of the names of God discussed in this classic work include: El Shaddai, the Almighty God whose strength is made perfect in human weakness, El Elyon, the Most High whose dominion is everlasting, and Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts who judges and delivers his people.

Review
