The names of God are mentioned very frequently throughout the Bible and in worship songs, prayers, and Christian literature. They have significance for every Christian. "On a Name Quest" carefully and clearly answers some of the harder questions that people ask about the names of God. "The historical and etymological background of the names forms a solid foundation for everything in the book but it is presented to the reader in non-academic language. The Greek and Hebrew names are provided in sidebars so that they do not clutter the text. An index is provided for easy reference. The complex history around the time of Jesus (highly relevant to the messianic names of Jesus) appears in the form of concise newspaper clippings written as though they came from the media of the time. God is a personality with a multifaceted character too integrated and dynamic to compartmentalize. God's names are best examined in clusters, around common themes. So that is how the chapters are organized.
