Who Is God?: His Character Revealed in the Christ argues the life, ministry, and character of Jesus provide the definitive lens for understanding the Father. Cowles challenges traditional interpretations of the Old Testament, positing that Jesus reveals God as non-violent, merciful, and forgiving, rather than the warrior or judge depicted in some ancient texts. The book contends that when scripture is read through the perspective of Jesus, misconceptions about a violent God are corrected, revealing a deity who is compassionate, sympathetic, and present in human suffering. Cowles, a professor of preaching and biblical literature, suggests that Jesus is the "express image" of the invisible God, making the New Testament accounts of Christ the primary source for understanding God's true nature.
