The Names of God in Holy Scripture

Summary

Andrew Jukes (1815-1901) was an English theologian and deacon of St. John's Church, Hull. The Names of God in Holy Scripture (1888) examines the Old and New Testaments to find and interpret the names of the Lord. Jukes first discusses the Hebrew names and appellations as they were known by the patriarchs and by the prophets of ancient Israel: “Adonai”, “Elohim”, “El Shaddai”, and the Tetragrammaton. Quoting from St. Augustine, he argues that the “perfect” name is declared by Jesus Christ in the New Testament as “the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.
