The blood of Christ stands not simply for the sting of sin on God but the scourge of God on sin, not simply for God’s sorrow over sin but for God’s wrath on sin.

P.T. Forsyth (1848–1921), Theologe

Topics: Grace & Redemption, Guilt & Forgiveness, God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit

Occasions: For Reflection

P.T. Forsyth

Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848–1921) war ein schottisch-englischer kongregationalistischer Pastor, Theologieprofessor und Rektor des Hackney College in London. Nach einer Abkehr vom zeitgenössischen theologischen Liberalismus wurde er für seine Theologie des Kreuzes bekannt, die Gottes Heiligkeit, das Sühnehandeln Christi und die Schwere der Sünde betonte. Bibellesern bietet sein Werk theologische Schärfe für das Verständnis von Gnade und Theodizee jenseits eines rein moralischen oder liberalen Schriftverständnisses.
