My teacher has asked me to answer some questions regarding the preface to The Knowledge of the Holy. I have four questions to answer, and if you would like to see them, please go to www.spiritualformation.weeble.com
Thank you.
1. The problem Tozer identifies is that although we have grown externally in numbers, we have damaged our faith inwards. I agree with this,for several people believe in god, but aren't willing to submit their all to Him and follow Him as He has commanded us. It's really sad to see this happening to the Christian faith.
2. I think when he says "majesty of God", he is referring to God's glory and the way should see God.
3. Other losses consist of the way we see God and knowledge of God, and all of these deal with our concept of God, and it's really sad to see this happening over the years.
4. I'd have to say that things regarding education have gone both ways since Tozer's time. Depending on which school you go to your education and environment will be different. As for me though, I think I learn many things I would through that literature in a different and easier way. If more schools were like this, I believe Christian's all over the world would grow in God much easier.
Thank you, Daran. Re: the problem that T. identifies, you state, "we have grown externally in numbers, we have damaged our faith inwards." He does mention an outward growth that he is concerned was really quite shallow or brittle; however, "our faith inwards" - what do you mean by that? What, specifically, does T. mean and say re: this "faith" problem? And for 3, expand more on "the way we see God and knowledge of God." Bring in the concepts that T. himself uses.
