God the Holy Father & Other Sermons by P.T. Forsyth

This book is a reprint of three small books of sermons by my father for which there has been a demand for some years. They are: The Holy Father and the Living Christ, Christian Perfection and The Taste of Death and the Life of Grace. These sermons were all reached and published around the turn of the century, and before his longer books were written. Yet they are regarded as important because they give the key to all his later thinking and writing. It has been suggested to me by one who has studied his theology deeply that if the sermons were rearranged, and not merely reissued as they first appeared, they would form a logical sequence, a system of theology in small compass. This suggestion I have gratefully adopted.

The Holy Father deals with the nature of God the Father; The Divine Self-Emptying with the Self- Humiliation of God the Son; The Taste of Death and the Life of Grace with the Sacrifice and Passion of Christ the Saviour; The Living Christ with Christ Risen and Alive for evermore; and Christian Perfection with the consequent life of the Christian.
