The Work of Christ

Name: The Work of Christ
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

P. T. Forsyth's searching study of the work of Christ, published in 1910, with the atonement at its center. Forsyth insists that the cross is not an illustration of divine love but its decisive act, in which God's holiness and grace meet. The book is a weighty piece of British Congregational theology that helped recall its generation to the centrality of the cross.
