Soteriology
Packer writes from a broadly Reformed Anglican perspective, and while the book is not a confessional document, its theological commitments align closely with the Thirty-Nine Articles and the Westminster tradition. The 2021 edition is a reprint of the original 1973 text with no substantive revision.

For half a century, J. I. Packer's classic has helped Christians around the world discover the wonder, the glory, and the joy of knowing God.
Stemming from Packer's profound theological knowledge, Knowing God brings together two key facets of the Christian faith—knowing about God and knowing God through a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to renew and enrich our understanding of God.
Named by Christianity Today as one of the top fifty books that have shaped evangelicals, Knowing God is now among the iconic books featured in the IVP Signature Collection. A new companion Bible study is also available to help readers explore these biblical themes for themselves.
