The Names and Titles of G-d

Written by Brady Stephenson

30 November 2008

Names are not only verbal labels to apply to people and things, they often provide insight into the character and nature of those people. It is in such a way that G-d has revealed His character and nature through the words of Scripture. Not only do we have labels (in both names and titles) that apply to Him and Him alone but through them G-d communicates who He is by condensing His infinite nature ("humbling Himself") into terms that we finite beings can catch a glipse of His glory.

The numbers are an arbitrary system that simply record the order in which the name or title was added.

[T] indicates a title
[N] indicates a name
Numbers in parenthesis indicate how often that name or title is found in Scripture.

This list is an ongoing work. If you have any recommendations to add please contact us.
