Brian's Reviews > Rejoice and Tremble: The Surprising Good News of the Fear of the Lord

After my initial reading, I taught Dr. Reeves’s book during the spring semester of adult Sunday school at my church. The alternately neglected and misunderstood doctrine of the fear of the Lord was a timely one for me and well-received by the class. The author teases apart the supposed dichotomy of Christ, freeing us from fear and being told to fear, and to fear God no less. He marshals writers, Scripture, historical theologians, and preachers to paint a vivid portrait of God, luminous in all His attributes and wonderful as God the Redeemer in Christ. Recommended.
