George MacDonald's Spiritual Vision

An Introductory Overview

About this book

A leading George MacDonald scholar presents a fascinating introduction to the 19th century Scottish author's views on Christianity, faith, and God.
 
The Victorian author, poet, and theologian George MacDonald inspired some of the greatest writers of the early 20th century, including C.S. Lewis, who said MacDonald's books were pivotal in leading him toward Christianity. While MacDonald's beloved fiction—including classics like Robert Falconer and At the Back of the North Wind—remain popular, his sermons and nonfiction writings on faith are less well-known.
 
Now MacDonald scholar and biographer Michael Phillips presents a comprehensive introduction to George MacDonald's theological ideas. In George MacDonald's Spiritual Vision, Phillips provides extensive, thematically arranged quotes from the author's writings. This brief volume covers topics from the nature and character of God to salvation, justice and atonement.
