Into His Presence: A Theology of Intimacy with God

A theologically grounded treatment of what it means to be close to God

Numerous Christian books aim to provide guidance on relationships with God, but more need to base their conclusions on a biblical theology of intimacy. In this volume, Tim Anderson develops a biblical and holistic portrait of nearness to God, exploring its key themes in relation to God's union within the Trinity, the Fall, God's fatherhood, marriage imagery, suffering, and our relationship with the Holy Spirit. A concluding chapter examines Christian songs that address oneness with God and evaluates their theological messages in light of the previous chapters.

Into His Presence is a helpful guide for pursuing intimacy with God and assessing contemporary cultural understandings of close relationships in light of those communicated in Scripture.
