Publisher's Description
This book is a unique look at the Scottish theologian Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848-1921). Forsyth was an important theologian whose significance has been increasingly realized in the years since his death. He wrote a number of books and articles that focused on central aspects of the Christian gospel and their meaning for the church and the faith of church members in their daily lives. Each of the eighty-four devotions in this book takes a short theological quotation from Forsyth and explores its meaning and its significance for Christian living today--both for the church and for individual Christians. Here is spiritual wisdom that can help foster a stronger theological understanding and a more vital Christian life.

“P. T. Forsyth is unmatched as a theologian who probes and illuminates the New Testament gospel of God’s saving work in Christ. In a rare but valuable approach to Forsyth, Donald McKim offers daily devotional readings that present and elaborate on well-chosen excerpts from Forsyth’s writings. Recommended for anyone interested in understanding and obeying the New Testament gospel.”
“Scottish theologian P. T. Forsyth deserves to be better known. The true richness of his theology manifests itself in the lives of Christian believers. And it is for just such believers that this book has been written, distilling the fruits of Forsyth’s theology into eighty-four devotionals. Each devotional begins with a Forsyth quotation and is followed by Donald McKim’s concise, thought-provoking reflections. Much of the core of Forsyth is here, and Following Faith is a feast.”
“McKim has gifted us with a user-friendly resource that introduces Forsyth to a new generation. Part devotional text, part introduction to theology, this book pairs brief excerpts of Forsyth’s unforgettable prose with McKim’s reflections on what they mean for believing and living Christian faith. A beautiful example of how theology matters!”
“P. T. Forsyth is one of the most creative theologians the English language has ever produced. Inspired by Forsyth’s words, Don McKim offers us a set of short and accessible meditations on a range of themes of concern to Christian faith properly oriented towards Christ, ‘the condensation of history.’”
“With this volume, McKim adds to his collection of theological devotionals that render classical theologians accessible to a fresh audience. Both long-time readers of Forsyth and those coming to his writings for the first time will discover here good news of the ‘holy and injured God.’”
