《Knowing God》读后感(一)：正在读这本书
我和几个弟兄姊妹正在读这本书，觉得能够给自己带来一些帮助，也是一本不错的入门的认识神的材料。作者功力非凡，对神的认识也比较深入，维护并重申了许多被当代地基督徒忽略的很多重大问题。
《Knowing God》读后感(二)：基督徒必看书籍之一
我认为这是基督徒必看的书籍之一。
虽然我没有完整看完过一边，但是感觉他写的内容都很严谨，一字一句都是经过反复思考的。每一章都可以让人体会好久，对我帮助很大。尤其是第二十一章，论内在试炼更是帮助很大，不仅纠正我很多错误的思想，更加给我力量去寻求上帝。
《Knowing God》读后感(三)：感恩节读书感想：心灵的交流
今天终于看完了巴刻的“认识神”这本书的英文版。感觉读书就好像是场征战，因为有太多的事情会影响你的读书计划。没有想到本来计划一个月读完的书，直到今天感恩节，才读完，真的是有些惭愧啊。读一本书，也是在向某个自己所信任的人学习和交流，读巴刻的书的时候，更是感受到他对于自己在教导方面特别的负担。
最早读中文书的时候，其实没有太深读进去，当时纯粹是为了想知道一些教义而读的，但是在今天重新读英文版的时候，没有特意地带着某种标杆，而是第一次想要听听一个比较有影响的基督徒自己对于神的认识，以及他是如何解释帮助当代基督徒面对信仰困难的。对于有一定现代知识背景的基督徒来说，基督教信仰真的不是一件简单的事情。基督教传统信息中的每一点对于当代人都是一个难题，但是很感谢的是，巴刻是站在一个理解当代文化和知识的角度来解释这些基督教重要的信息的，很感谢有这么一本书，其中很多章节都是不耐其烦地解释某个信息重要的原因以及其应用的。比如他在对罗马书8章的信息解释的时候，真的不是站在脱离7章的基础之上讲一种成功的基督教福音信息。
巴刻至今已经是高龄，据说视力已经严重下降并且影响到他不能够写作了。对于80后的我来说，认识的第一位神学家就是巴刻了，可笑的是，当时连他的名字和巴特都分不清。之后才通过书籍又知道了另外一些讲道人，牧师或者神学家。钟马田去世后20多年后我才信主，我就在想这些人写书或者讲道的时候，他们自己恐怕并不会认识到神到底会使用他们做怎样的工作，帮助怎样的一群人。2011年约翰斯托得去世，2014年第一次开始读他的讲道学书籍，可惜他那时已经在主那里了，即便是现在想写信问问他书里面的问题也是不大可能的了。
人生是短暂的，感谢因为有书籍，人类才有了这种跨越空间和时间交流的可能。而也正是因为有了圣经，人才更能够有了与神交流的可能性。
没有人可以选择永远活着，就像奔三的人早晚要奔四，90后之后就是00后。但是我们可以选择为了什么而活着，我们信什么活着。
以巴刻这本书最后一部分的一段话作为结尾来提醒自己和当代的基督徒：
From current Christian publications you might think that the most vital issue for any real
or would-be Christian in the world today is church union, or social witness, or dialogue with other Christians and other faiths, or refuting this or that -ism, or developing a Christian philosophy and culture, or what have you. But our line of study makes the present-day concentration on these things look like a gigantic conspiracy of misdirection. Of course, it is not that; the issues themselves are real and must be dealt with in their place. But it is
tragic that, in paying attention to them, so many in our day seem to have been distracted from what was, is, and always will be the true priority for every human being – that is, learning to know God in Christ.
《Knowing God》读后感(四)：Notes
With this in mind, Packer discusses why it is important to know who God is, what He is like, and God's relationship with and actions towards man. Packer discusses and explains the important doctrinal concepts of propitiation, regeneration, justification, and adoption -- doctrines of Christianity that set it apart from all other religions and belief systems.
Two trends seem to have produced this state:
1. Christian minds have been confirmed to the modern spirit.
2. Christians minds have been confused by the modern skepticism(怀疑主义).
* Chapter 1 The Study of God
* What is my ultimate aim and object in occupying my mind with these things？ What do I intend to do with my knowledge about God？ Be cautious about became proud and conceited. 作者提出问题有关追求神学之目的及动机，纯粹获取新知或把此当作终极目的势必不好. 作者引用诗篇119章对神的认识需要拉回及应用到现实之中.
* Chapter 2 The people who know their God
* Do we desire such knowledge of God？ Two things follow:
* We must recognize how much we lack knowledge of God.
* We must seek the Saviour.
* Chapter 3 Knowing and Being Known
* Problem: to think you know God when you are not.
* Why a simple Bible reader and sermon hearer may have more deeper relationship with God than a learned scholar who pursue theologically correct？ 问题出现在哪？行为实践要落地.
* Chapter 4 The only True God
* Image dishonor God, for they obscure his glory. 教堂里的耶稣受难雕塑/类似画作是否没有把耶稣升天复活之荣耀其神性一面表现出来？Packer的观点在于别敬拜worship created staff.
* Images mislead us.
* Chapter 5 God Incarnate
* 作者反对Kenosis Theory，大意是耶稣基督道成肉身后失去了全部或部分神性. The idea behind it in all its forms is that, in order to be fully human, the Son had to renounce some of its divine qualities, otherwise he could not have shared the experience of being limited in space, time, knowledge, and consciousness which is essential to truly human life.
* Chapter 6 He Shall Testify
* Do we honor the Holy Spirit by recognizing and relying on his work？ Or do we slight him by ignoring it, and thereby dishonor, not merely the Spirit, but the Lord who sent him？
* Chapter 7 God unchanging
* 当读圣经是我们感觉枯燥无味时该怎么办？
* Remember God does not change.
* God’s character(品格) does not change.
* God’s way do not change.
* God’s purpose do not change. (Repenting means revising one’s judgement, and changing one’s plan of action, God never does this)
* God’s son does not change.
* Chapter 8 The Majesty of God
* God is greater than world’s great man. (Alexander, Napoleon, Mao Tse-tung).
* 当我们试着去与人比较的时候，多思考上帝吧，他是多么的为他超乎我们的想象，超越我们所能理解的范围. 而在神眼里，无一人义人.
* Chapter 9 God Only Wise
* Painful humbling
* Sustained hardship to teach lessons
* Chapter 10 God’s wisdom and ours
* 智慧有别于知识储备。The young man was inclined to equate wisdom with wide knowldege, and to suppose that one gains wisdom simply by assiduous bookwork.
* Chapter 11 Thy Word is Truth
* True Christians are people who believe the teaching, trusting the promises, following the commands.
* Chapter 12 The Love of God
* 圣灵做工. Spirit’s ordinary work of giving peace, joy, hope, and love, through the shedding abroad in our hearts of knowledge of the love of God.
* Chapter 13 The Grace of God
* 对于戴耳卡内基的出书进行了批判，认为赐畅销书所推崇的价值观与圣经不符，及人有能力迎合取悦神.
* Chapter 14 God the Judge
* Divine Judgement对现世的思考及影响？求主开恩带路.
* Chapter 15 The Wrath of God
* 读经理解
* Chaoter 16 Goodness and Severity
* Think about natural blessings God has given us, land, food, air, water, relationship, love, strength. (Calvary is the measure of goodness of God.)
* Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
* Chapter 17 The Jealous God
* Biblical statements about’s God’s jealousy are anthropomorphisms(拟人化/n.神人同形同性论).
* Chapter 18 The Heart of Gospel
* The deepest problem is the relation with our maker.
* Chapter 19 Sons of God
* The Holy Spirit enables us to ascertain our sons hip, from being conscious of, and discovering in ourselves, the true marks of a renewed state.
* I am a child of God. God is my Father; heaven is my home; everyday is one day nearer. My Savior is nearer; every Christian is my brother too.
* Chapter 20 Thou Our Guide
* 圣灵带领并非帮我们做选择A或B，而是帮助我们回到圣经回到神的话语里去.
* Chapter 21 These Inward Trials
* 2 errors：think Christian life is too good or think Christian life is too harsh, find the balance.
* Losing the sight of Grace, it confuses the Christian life on earth with the Christian life as it will be in heaven.
* Chapter 22 The Adequacy of God
* Problem Packer mentioned:
* Afraid of the consequences of going the whole way into the Christian life.
* We shrink from accepting burdens of responsibility for others.
* Afraid of forfeit material security.
* Afraid of leaving comfortable circle we used to.
