Known by God Audio Lectures: A Biblical Theology of Personal Identity

Who are you? What makes you, you? In the past, your personal identity would have been settled before you were born. Today, identity is a do-it-yourself project: ours is a day of identity angst. Known by God Audio Lectures surveys the neglected biblical theme of being known by God as his children, a truth that meets our deepest and lifelong need for recognition—the key to a secure personal identity. Brian Rosner shows that embracing this identity gives our fleeting lives significance, provokes humility, supplies cheering comfort, and offers moral direction for living.

The Biblical Theology for Life series brings groundbreaking academic study of the Bible alongside contemporary contextualization and proclamation. Each title, taught by a leading biblical scholar, traces the development of a theological theme in Scripture and addresses the relevance of the Bible's teaching to pastors, church leaders, students, and lay readers.
