About this title

Synopsis

This collection of forty-eight sermons, most of which have not been previously published, discloses the integration of vocation and imagination in the work of one of the greatest of Free Church theologians, P. T. Forsyth. At a time of fragmentation, when theological study has become too much removed from the task of the preacher, Forsyth's work can remind us of the invigorating power of Christian doctrine interpreted and expounded in situations of pastoral and political exigency. Its capacity for the renewal of the church is evident again from this rich and timely anthology, compiled and introduced by Jason Goroncy.

About the Author

Jason A. Goroncy (PhD, St Andrews) is Lecturer in Theology and Church History at the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership in Dunedin, New Zealand. He has published widely in academic and more popular journals, as well as contributed to edited volumes. His current research interests lie chiefly in the areas of Christian doctrine, theological anthropology (particularly around theologies of childhood, disability and death), theology and the arts, public theology, Protestant intellectual history, and twentieth century Scottish fiction.

He is the author of Hallowed be Thy Name: The Sanctification of All Things in the Soteriology of P.T. Forsyth (Bloomsbury/T&T Clark, 2013), and the editor of Descending on Humanity and Intervening in History: Notes from the Pulpit Ministry of P.T. Forsyth (Pickwick Publications, 2013) and Tikkun Olam - To Mend the World: A Confluence of Theology and the Arts (Pickwick Publications, 2014).
