The Hope of the Gospel - George Macdonald - Bog

Perhaps most well-known for his fairy-tales and fantasy stories or for his poetry, George MacDonald was a great spiritual master of the nineteenth century. He spent several years as a minister in his native Scotland; however he was forced to resign his position due to ill health. He had a profound influence on such later writers as G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis. In The Hope of the Gospel, with his ever cleverly style, MacDonald explores the essential heart of the gospel that is so often overlooked, both in his day and ours. Dissatisfied with cheap and hasty interpretations of Scripture, MacDonald invites us beneath the surface in a heartfelt meditation on all that Christ came to accomplish.
