episode 034 - Righteousness cover

Description

George MacDonald, a renowned Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, held a significant place among the great Victorian writers, alongside literary giants like Dickens and Thackeray. Yet, despite his initial acclaim, his reputation has waned over time, largely due to the deep religious themes that permeate his works. Among his many writings, Unspoken Sermons stands out as a profound exploration of theology, capturing MacDonald’s unique perspective on faith and spirituality. Though not his most famous work, these sermons have left a lasting theological impact, most notably influencing C.S. Lewis, who regarded MacDonald as my master and acknowledged his immense debt to Unspoken Sermons. More recently, Michael Phillips’ 2005 edited edition emphasizes MacDonalds unconventional approach to doctrine, inviting readers to uncover the spiritual treasures nestled within the text. Each passage offers a fresh perspective on God and His work, revealing new worlds of wonder to those willing to delve deeper. (Summary by David Baldwin)
