Unspoken Sermons

Unspoken Sermons by George MacDonald
By:

Unspoken Sermons by George MacDonald is a thought-provoking collection of theological essays that delve into deep spiritual truths. MacDonald's writing is rich with metaphor and imagery, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of God, love, and redemption. Each sermon is imbued with a profound sense of compassion and wisdom, challenging readers to consider their own beliefs and practices. While some may find the dense, poetic language difficult to follow, those willing to engage with MacDonald's ideas will be rewarded with a deeper understanding of Christian faith and the human experience. Overall, Unspoken Sermons is a compelling read for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on spirituality and the divine.

Book Description:
George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. In his day he was considered one of the great Victorian authors on par with Dickens, Thackeray, Kipling and the like. His reputation as an author, however, has not fared as well largely because of the ubiquitous and fervent presence of religion throughout his works.

MacDonald's theology, though sprinkled liberally throughout his fairly substantial number of books, is perhaps nowhere more palpable than in Unspoken Sermons. These sermons, though by no means amongst the most popular of MacDonald's work, have had theological impact from their first appearance. That influence is probably most notable in C.S. Lewis who called MacDonald "my master" and of Unspoken Sermons said, "My own debt to this book is almost as great as one man can owe to another."

More recent influence can be seen in Michael Phillips' 2005 edited edition of some of Macdonald's sermons in which he states:
"MacDonald saw things differently. Doctrinal formula was nothing to him. His unique perspective takes some getting used to. I find that many passages require two or three readings. But I also find spiritual gold awaiting me, sometimes buried deep but always ready to shine out brilliantly from the page when suddenly I see it. Theologically, too, as imaginatively, I have discovered many doors of delight opening before me into new worlds of wonder about God and his work."
