Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848–1921) is among the most insightful and challenging of modern theologians. Ordained to the ministry in 1876, he served as a pastor in London, Manchester, and Cambridge, before taking an appointment as Principal of Hackney College, London in 1901. His major books include The Person and Place of Jesus Christ, The Principle of Authority, and Positive Preaching and Modern Mind.
Paul K. Moser is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. He is the author of Understanding Religious Experience (forthcoming), The God Relationship (2017), The Severity of God (2013), The Evidence for God (2010), and The Elusive God (2008).
Benjamin Nasmith is a recent graduate of Briercrest Seminary. He is co-editor (with Paul K. Moser) of God in Experience: Essays of Hugh Ross Mackintosh (Pickwick, 2018).
“This collection of well-chosen and rewarding essays conveniently gathers into one volume both a valuable resource for any student of Forsyth’s and a fitting introduction to some themes of central concern to one of the best theological minds the English-speaking world has produced.”
—Jason Goroncy, Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology, Whitley College, Melbourne
“When I learned Moser and Nasmith had collected some of Forsyth’s theological gems, I was ecstatic. May this well-selected and well-introduced set of essays spark or renew interest in an unjustly neglected pastor-theologian!”
—David Guretzki, Executive Vice President & Resident Theologian, The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada
“Writing more than a century ago, P. T. Forsyth has much to teach us for the living of these days. This remarkable collection of essays offers fresh insight into the mind and heart of a theologian who experienced the ‘holy love’ of God and invites us to do the same.”
—Kenneth E. Kovacs, author of The Relational Theology of James E. Loder
“Almost a century after his death, P. T. Forsyth’s theological voice is just as fresh and as relevant today as it ever has been. . . . This new selection of Forsyth’s essays should be welcomed and applauded not by students of historical theology alone, therefore, but by all those concerned to do constructive Christian theology for the twenty-first century.”
—Trevor Hart, St. Mary’s College, University of St Andrews
