W. E. Sangster: Herald of Holiness

Theology

“In this present book Andrew Cheatle brings the 'real' Sangster to life. What one meets in these pages is not a distant figure, nor yet a figure who is halo-clad. But the Sangster that is here presented is all the more real a figure for it and, dare I say, a more inspiring one. Not only does Sangster emerge as a man acquainted with sorrows (which surely he was during his war-time ministry) but one who knew that Christianity could claim nothing if unable to grapple with the realities of life, death, and suffering. Nor could it shirk the realities of the intellectual life . . . this book . . . sets something of a benchmark against which others will inevitably be set.”
