Get the book See all 70 names

70namesofgod.com is a Bible study site about the names of God in the King James Bible. It was made by Maurice Johnson, the author of 70 Names of God: What Each Name Means in the King James, the Hebrew and the Greek, and it is part of Dominion Publishing, a Black-owned publisher in Big Sandy, East Texas.

The site has one job: to help people learn who God is through the names He is called in Scripture, and then point them to the book for the full study. Each of the 70 names has its own page with the story behind the name, the Hebrew in plain words, the key verses, and what the name can mean for someone today.

How the pages are written

  • King James only. Every quotation of Scripture is from the King James Version, word for word. A computer check compares each quotation with the verse it cites.
  • Facts that can be checked. Hebrew meanings come from standard word-study tools, and every page lists its sources. If something could not be confirmed, it was left out.
  • Plain words. The pages are written for teens and adults. Hard words are explained the first time they appear.
  • Respect for every reader. The site explains what the Bible says about God's names. It does not mock anyone's faith.

The verse behind the site is Proverbs 18:10: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10) Knowing His names is a way of knowing where to run.

Questions people ask

Who runs 70namesofgod.com?

Maurice Johnson, the author of the book 70 Names of God. The site is part of Dominion Publishing, based in Big Sandy, in East Texas.

Why does this site quote only the King James Version?

The book and the site use one translation so that every word can be checked. Every Bible quotation here is from the King James Version and is checked word for word by computer against a public-domain King James text. Other translations are sometimes described, but never quoted.

How are the Hebrew meanings checked?

Each name page was researched against standard word-study tools such as Strong's concordance on Blue Letter Bible, and the facts were checked again by a separate fact-check. The sources for every page are listed at the bottom of that page.
