In The Attributes of God, A. W. Pink offers a powerful and Scripture-saturated exploration of who God truly is—far beyond the softened, human-centered portrayals so common in modern thought. First published in the early twentieth century, this classic work continues to challenge, awaken, and deepen the faith of readers who long to know the God of the Bible in all His majesty.
With remarkable clarity and conviction, Pink examines the essential perfections of God—His holiness, sovereignty, patience, omnipotence, immutability, and more—drawing on a wealth of biblical references that illuminate every page. Though brief in length, this little volume is rich in substance, providing a concentrated study that both beginners and seasoned Christians can appreciate.
Pink writes with an unwavering commitment to magnifying God above all else. He confronts the tendency to reshape God into our own image and instead calls readers to behold the Lord as Scripture reveals Him: exalted, glorious, righteous, and utterly worthy of reverence. His insights remain profoundly relevant, offering strength and clarity for those wrestling with questions of divine sovereignty, foreknowledge, and the unchanging nature of God.
A stirring call to rediscover the awe of God, The Attributes of God invites believers to a deeper, more anchored faith—one rooted not in sentiment, but in truth. This enduring classic continues to point Christians back to the One who is infinitely greater than we imagine, yet graciously reveals Himself in His Word.
Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952) was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Born in Nottingham, England, he became a Christian at the age of 22. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus. Desiring to grow in knowledge of the Bible, Pink emigrated to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute. Impatient, he left there after only two months and began his first pastorate in Silverton Colorado. In 1916 he married Vera E. Russell. From 1925 to 1928 he served in Australia, including as pastor of two congregations from 1926 to 1928, when he returned to England, and to the United States the following year. He eventually pastored churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina. In 1934 Pink returned to England, and within a few years turned his Christian service to writing books and pamphlets. Many of Pinks' works were published after his death. His writing sparked a revival of expository preaching and focused readers' hearts on biblical living.
