the study of God

(from the preface to Knowing God by J.I. Packer)

...ignorance of God-ignorance both of his ways and of the practice of communion with him-lies at the root of much of the church's weaknesses today (p.12).

(and his one-sentence solution)

The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls Father (p.17)

Where am I ignorant, indifferent, or simply uninterested when it comes to God?
