ABOUT THIS BOOK

Forsyth was not just an academic or armchair theologian, he was a preaching theologian—the best kind. His profound and far reaching theological work was grounded in his proclamation of the people of God that had gripped him. In this book we hear Forsyth the preacher. Revelation Old and New is a collection made long after he died, of a number of his sermons and addresses. They are a valuable resource still for the church today. P.T. Forysth has been called a prophet of the twentieth century. Had he been widely heeded in his day, the history of that century and of the church in particular, might have been very different. At the beginning of the twenty first century we still need to catch up with what he was saying back then.
