Knowing God (WIP)

My aim is to make this a faithful paraphrase of Knowing God by J I Packer, which is a classic.
In this attempt:
– I have supplied some information (and you will usually see this in red font) where Packer assumes prior knowledge of literature, culture, church history, etc.,
– I have tried to format the text differently to make it easier to read and grasp, adding more white space, breaking up long sentences, and so on.
– I have added the scripture verses where possible.
– Packer’s language is ALWAYS lovelier than mine, and sometimes, unable to see his lines go, I may have ended up with a little bit of repetition—keeping his lines and adding my paraphrase as well. Anyway the hope of this work is to be able to learn from and get a taste of Packer.
I needed to do these things to understand the book for myself, but who knows, it may be helpful to someone else as well.
