Understanding and Knowing God Through His Name

Summary/Abstract: Man is a being endowed by God with the boundless thirst for knowledge, to accumulate knowledge, both about God and about the world around him. Therefore, when it comes to God, man has tried to name the Absolute Being with different names, through which to refer and address the Divinity. Each appointment given to God expresses what man has understood about His Person, expressing the manifestations of God (Good, Merciful, Mighty, etc.) in His relationship with man. However, there was a time when God Himself, at the request of His servant Moses, revealed His Name, the deepest and most complex name, which expresses in words the Being and Person of God, that is, that He is incomprehensible, omnipotent, omnipresent, and other characteristics of God. To be able to understand and know God, it is necessary to create a connection with Him, a connection that is realized, especially, through His Name.

This study will highlight the role of the Name and the need-to-know God's Name, especially the one revealed to Moses "I am who I am.
