From the publisher

In Who God Is, world-renowned New Testament scholar Ben Witherington III explores the nature and character of the God of the Bible by focusing specifically on the nouns used to describe who God is. This rich exploration has its foundation in a deep reading of the biblical text, and reflecting on these descriptions of God gives us a fresh understanding of the beauty and uniqueness of the character of our God.
