Synopsis

Each new generation rediscovers George MacDonald, as his son Greville predicted. The Truth in Jesus brings together a new collection of sermons and essays that explore the source and essence of truth. Thanks to Michael Phillips's skillful editing, these thoughtful insights into what truth is, how we come to know truth, and how God reveals truth through his Son speak to readers as clearly today as they did during MacDonald's lifetime. Phillips retains MacDonald's message and style, then adds his perceptive commentary on MacDonald's work, making the nineteenth-century Scottish writer's wisdom accessible to twenty-first-century readers.

About this title

About the Author

George MacDonald (1824-1905), Scottish poet, preacher, and novelist was one of the most original and influential writers of Victorian Britain. He wrote over 50 books with millions of copies sold, and he was one of the most popular authors of the day on both sides of the Atlantic. Drawn to the pulpit early, MacDonald eventually left to pursue his writing. Numbered among Dickens, Trollope, and other giants of the age as a novelist, MacDonald ended his career with over fifty books ranging from fantastical literature, to children's stories, to critical essays, and numerous novels. In addition to writing, MacDonald lectured extensively. MacDonald's fiction combined the man's immense spiritual understanding with his innate storytelling ability. His works have influenced writers like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and many others.
