A proposal…

Peter Taylor Forsyth has been a subject of a number of studies of which the focus has been mostly, and understandably, on issues of christology, atonement, sacraments, homiletics and pastoral ministry. More recently, Leslie McCurdy has done us a great service in his project of understanding and interpreting Forsyth’s theology under the guise of God’s ‘holy love’ as the key ingredient in Forsyth’s atonement theology. Wanting to further broaden this trend, my project explores whether Forsyth’s theology might best be understood through the grid of a massively broad vision of the sanctification of all things to the glory of God. If the answer is ‘Yes’, how is this sanctification achieved? And by whom? And how does creation participate in such a work, if at all?

  1. I am never quite sure how forsyth invisages the new heavens and earth. He does seem to see continuity but he does stress on the discontinuity.

  2. Another fruit of his antithetical style I suspect. Are you a Forsyth fan? What are you working on at the moment?
