With the F.I.R.E. method, Dr. Ken Burge, Sr. is diligently carving out a niche for one of the most effective systematized approaches to the study and application of the Scripture available today.
Previously applied to specific books of the Bible, in “Attributes Of God On F.I.R.E: Probing Fourteen Character Traits Of God To Imitate”, Dr. Burge utilizes the methodology to better acquaint the believer with what can be known about God from the Bible.
Awed by the ways in which God differs from ourselves that we are not (known as the via negativa) such as infinite, immaterial, and eternal, we often forget that our own nature is a conscribed reflection of His.
In this study, Dr. Burge emphatically details those characteristics that we in our own human nature share with the Almighty in a finite form derived from and bestowed by God.
These include truth, mercy, love, and even sanctified jealousy.
By definition, no subject is more complex than that of God.
Dr. Ken Burge is not only to be commended for the reverent enthusiasm in which he takes on such a formidable topic but for also engaging this study in such a way that fellow believers are able to reflect upon these profundities as well.
