Who is God, how does He relate to us, and how should we relate to Him? God and Man, by H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the late Pope and Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, explores three great topics from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
On God's attributes, you will read about God the Creator, the Eternal, the Unlimited, the Omnipresent and the Omnipotent.
On God's relationship with man, you will read about God's love for man, His giving, His goodness, His kindness, His protection, His forgiveness, His chastening, His dispensation and His great redemption.
On man's relationship with God, you will read about God's place in our life, our knowledge of Him, our meeting with Him, our communion with Him and abiding in Him, reconciliation, wrestling with Him, waiting for Him and rejoicing in Him. You will also read about those who flee from God.
The book is the fruit of forty lectures by Pope Shenouda on these and related topics. It suits readers who want to know God more deeply, Bible study and youth groups, and servants and teachers looking for clear Orthodox teaching on God and the spiritual life.
