The Pursuit of God

Editorial Notes While every effort has been made to retain Tozer’s original meanings and pungent, lyrical style, the text of The Pursuit of God has been revised at points to make it more accessible to twenty-first-century readers. For example, the capitalization of words has been minimized, except for terms referring to God, and out-of-date words like thee and thou have been excised. Tozer’s scriptural quotations and personal phrasings echoed the older wording of the King James Version of the Bible (1611). We judged it better to convey these in the more updated language of the New King James Version (1982). Some exceptions have been made when the true sense of the biblical text is more clearly conveyed by an alternate English translation. The Pursuit of God contains an abundance of quotations from Scripture. Tozer provided references for some of these, but not all of them. As an aid to the reader, we have inserted references to all direct biblical quotations.
