K. Chesterton\u003cbr\u003eI’m delighted that Plough has produced this amazingly imaginative volume! Congratulations to Marianne Wright on her first-rate editorial vision and implementation. --Dr. Ian Randall, Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eIn his power to project his inner life into images, events, beings, landscapes which are valid for all, he is one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century. --W. H. Auden\u003cbr\u003eI know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself. . . . Nowhere else  outside  the  New  Testament  have  I  found  terror  and  comfort  so intertwined. I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master. --C. S. Lewis\u003cbr\u003eCould be the greatest work of theology you read this year….The gospel for MacDonald was not a book, but rather a person, the person of Jesus Christ Himself, the image of the Father. --Tessa Carman, Mere Orthodoxy","brand":"Plough Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866138423639,"sku":"9780874867664","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-gospel-in-george-macdonald-9780874867664","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
