George MacDonald's Transformational Theology of the Christian Faith: Sermons of Prophetic Vision

This volume of the Victorian author’s sermons presents an in-depth understanding of his views on Christian faith, edited for modern readers.

Though he is best known today for his beloved fiction and fairy tales, such as the classics Robert Falconer and At the Back of the North Wind, George MacDonald was also an influential and visionary theologian. Now MacDonald scholar and biographer Michael Phillips presents a collection of the author’s sermons, expertly edited for modern readers and accompanied by the original texts. Each selection is also introduced by Phillips’s illuminating commentary.

The sermons collected in this volume are prophetic in that “MacDonald anticipates the perspectives of eternity, which is truly the most far-reaching kind of prophetic vision. He examines with profound insight an wisdom the eternal methods and purposes of God, and to a lesser extent even some of the potential outcomes that may lay in God’s heart to accomplish” (from the introduction).
