Description

A new edition of this classic devotional and doctrinal work. It is about the relation between Jesus and God: the Father personally in the Son, and the Son personally in the Father. Central to this relation is the atoning sacrifice of Jesus upon the Cross. Throughout, without resorting to technical theological terms, and using arguments of persuasive beauty closely related to Christian experience, the author presents the evangelical heart of the historical creeds. Here is a simple yet profound little book, where people can find great nourishment for Christian belief and experience in the world today.

Reviews

'H.R. Mackintosh is a significant figure for English-speaking theology of the twentieth century. The present work is a personal statement by Mackintosh, focused especially on how Jesus Christ was meaningful in his own religious life and thought, and it pulses with the warmth of Mackintosh's devotion. Professor Torrance's concluding reflections very helpfully analyse Mackintosh as a Christian thinker.' Professor Larry Hurtado, University of Edinburgh 'This book provides an admirable introduction to the central theme of H.R. Mackintosh's thought. It also reveals the blending of preacher and theologian that marked his life's work in the church and the university.' Professor David Fergusson, University of Aberdeen
"The overwhelming impression in reading this volume is of a man who was spiritually as well as theologically acquainted with the subject of his book...the impression left by the book of being intellectually and spiritually challenged and fed at the same time. I not only enjoyed the book, it did me good to read it." - Themelios, Summer 2001
