The Holy Father and the Living Christ (1897)

The Holy Father And The Living Christ is a theological book written by Peter Taylor Forsyth and originally published in 1897. The book explores the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son. Forsyth argues that the traditional Christian understanding of this relationship, which emphasizes the Father's sovereignty and the Son's obedience, is incomplete and fails to capture the true nature of their relationship. Forsyth proposes a new understanding of the relationship between the Father and the Son, which he calls ""the living Christ."" He argues that Christ is not simply an obedient son, but is a living, active force in the world, working to bring about God's will. Forsyth also emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit in this relationship, arguing that it is through the Spirit that the Father and the Son are able to work together in harmony.Throughout the book, Forsyth draws on biblical texts and theological traditions to support his arguments. He also engages with contemporary debates in theology, including the rise of liberal theology and the challenges it poses to traditional Christian beliefs.Overall, The Holy Father And The Living Christ is a thought-provoking and challenging work of theology that offers a fresh perspective on one of the central tenets of Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
