( ) The sermons of George MacDonald. Enlightening, inspiring, moving in their depth and meaning. Truly great reading. Food for the soul. "To understand the words of our Lord is the business of life. For it is the main road to the understanding of The Word himself. And, to receive him is to receive the Father and so to have Life in ourselves. And, Life the higher, the deeper, the simpler,the original, is the business of life." George MacDonald no reviews | add a review
MacDonald rejected the doctrine of penal Substitutionary atonement as put forward by John Calvin which argues that Christ has taken the place of sinners and is punished by God in their place, believing that in turn it raised serious questions about the character and nature of God. Instead, he taught that Christ had come to save people from their sins, and not from a Divine penalty for their sins. The problem was not the need to appease a wrathful God but the disease of cosmic evil itself. No library descriptions found. |
