We should get rid of the idea that faith is a matter of spiritual heroism reserved for a few. It is true there are heroes of Faith, but Faith is not only for heroes. It is a matter of spiritual courage and maturity.

— P.T. Forsyth (1848–1921), Theologe

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.
