The Soul of Prayer

Name: The Soul of Prayer
Author: P. T. Forsyth

Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848–1921) was a Scottish Congregational theologian who served pastorates in England before becoming principal of Hackney College, London. Moving from early liberal sympathies toward a theology centred on the cross, he stressed the moral reality of the atonement against a merely subjective gospel. His books include The Work of Christ, The Person and Place of Jesus Christ, and The Soul of Prayer, the last two represented in our library.

About this book

A theological study of prayer by P. T. Forsyth, the Scottish Congregational theologian, published in 1916. Forsyth treats prayer as the soul's answer to the holy God — not a technique for obtaining things, but communion with God shaped by the cross of Christ. Weighty and reflective, it rewards slow reading by those who want to think deeply as well as pray.
