From Glory to Golgotha by Donald Macleod

From Glory to Golgotha by Donald Macleod

Macleod has written solid treatments of Christology: The Person of Christ (IVP 1998) and Jesus is Lord (Mentor 1998) but in From Glory to Golgotha he distills much of the essence into 10 popular addresses on controversial issues in the life of Christ. The subjects include, Did Christ have a fallen human nature? Was Christ really tempted?, The crucified God and To Live is Christ. This is superb teaching, in marked contrast to the self-centred materials so often found. Buy it and read with joy of your Redeemer.

"Distilled Macleod: drawn from years of preaching, teaching, and writing, under the most fiery and pressurized of circumstances, reduced to its finest, most persuasive essenceHe deals with all the usual suspects with devastating ease. The pen of a journalist, the mind of a professor, and the heart of a preacher are here devoted to the service of the King."

-- Duncan Rankin, Christ Church Presbyterian, Evans, Georgia

What makes the Christian faith unique is the belief that the man, Jesus of Nazareth was also God. What’s more, this extraordinary person accomplished the reconciliation of lost humans by his own appalling death and subsequent resurrection. Not only does this belief deserve thorough exploration, it demands analysis of the most rigorous kind. Drawing on over 60 years of Biblical research, Donald Macleod is somehow able to magnificently and adoringly expound the mysteries of Christ with a skill which will not only educate, but draw his readers closer to the unfathomable realities of what God did in sending his Son.  

-- Iver Martin (Principal, Edinburgh Theological Seminary, Edinburgh, Scotland)

Here is the very heart of Christianity. Here is a "generous orthodoxy", lucidly expounded, honestly defended, and passionately enforced. Here is a book that should equip Christians for ministry, and sharpen our appetites to know more about Jesus.

-- John Nicholls (Associate Minister, Smithton Free Church of Scotland, Inverness, formerly Chief Executive, London City Mission)

'Serious first-time readers of Macleod cannot but benefit from his remarkable blend of orthodoxy and creativity, clothed, as it is, in a prose as accessible and illuminating as it is winsome and compelling. I do not speak platitudes. Read for yourself, but above all read to glorify the Christ of God!"

-- Tim J. R. Trumper, Seventh Reformed Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan (President of From His Fullness Ministries and Senior Pastor of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
