Introducing P.T. Forsyth

Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848–1921), commonly referred to as P.T. Forsyth, was a Scottish theologian and Congregational minister known for his significant contributions to Protestant theology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Forsyth was highly regarded for his writings on the atonement, the cross, and the relationship between divine holiness and love. He was deeply influenced by his evangelical upbringing and later by his study of German theology, which helped shape his Christ-centered approach to theology.

Forsyth believed that the church's primary focus should be the cross of Christ, which he saw as central to understanding God's redemptive work. He emphasized the necessity of moral and spiritual renewal, both for individuals and society, and argued that theology should not merely be intellectual but should deeply influence ethical behavior.
