Hallowed Be Thy Name: The Sanctification of All in the Soteriology of P. T. Forsyth (T&T Clark Studies in Systematic Theology, 20) (Volume 44) by Goroncy, Jason. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780567066824.

This unique study by Jason Goroncy offers an accessible and constructive way of reading and critiquing the thought of one the most creative and robust theological minds that the English language has produced - P.T. Forsyth (1848-1921). It takes due account of, and elucidates, the theological, philosophical and historical locale of Forsyths thought, and explores whether the notion of hallowing provides a profitable lens through which to read and evaluate his work. Goroncy suggests that the hallowing of Gods name is, for Forsyth, the way whereby God both justifies himself and claims creation for divine service. Reading Forsyths corpus as essentially an exposition of the first petition of the Lords Prayer, Goroncy invites us to better comprehend not only Forsyths soteriology but also, by extension, his broader theological vision and interests.
