Product Description
Book Description
MacDonald rejected the doctrine of penal Substitutionary atonement as put forward by John Calvin which argues that Christ has taken the place of sinners and is punished by God in their place, believing that in turn it raised serious questions about the character and nature of God. Instead, he taught that Christ had come to save people from their sins, and not from a Divine penalty for their sins. The problem was not the need to appease a wrathful God but the disease of cosmic evil itself.

Remove the yoke of Religion, Sep 22 2007
By Alan R. Bonness - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Unspoken Sermons - Series I, II, and III (Paperback)
If you are seeking the true Christ, read these sermons. MacDonald wrote as one filled with the Spirit; with the motive/desire to remove the yoke of man's made religion while pointing to the truth of the risen Lord. My life has been changed, in part due to MacDonald's obedience to write the truth in the Spirit.His writing style is deep and thoughtful, and always well worth reading and re-reading until the truth of what he is saying sinks in. I would also highly recommend his fictional works-especially those written for children. He was the original JRR Tolkien (Tolkien and CS Lewis were both greatly influenced by him both in style and faith), so if you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings, you will find more to enjoy in MacDonald's fiction.

Poorly Printed, May 26 2010
By Stephan Davis - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Unspoken Sermons: Series I, II, and III (Paperback)
This has nothing to do with the quality of the Unspoken Sermons, which anyone can freely read (e.g. Project Gutenberg) or listen to (Librivox) since they are in the public domain: the publisher saved paper costs by printing the book in footnote sized characters and narrow margins. I did not notice this when I looked at the excerpt on Amazon, but when I began to read the printed book I noticed that I had to turn my head to read each line. I now wish I would have just paid to print the Sermons myself in two columns per page.

Unspoken Sermons, Feb 23 2008
By Kristopher K. West - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Unspoken Sermons - Series I, II, and III (Paperback)
I have read hundreds of books dealing with every aspect of Christianity, religion, theology and philosophy. I also have a degree in theology. In my opinion this book has had more impact on my life then the sum of the others I have read combined! C.S. Lewis considered MacDonald his master and I never understood why until I read this collection. It is the best, most impacting book I have ever read. It can be a hard read at times but don't let that stop you because it's well worth it! I never write reviews on anything; I have been impacted so strongly by this book I had to let everyone know how great it is and is a must read for anyone! If you are a seeker of truth and are ready for real answers in your life than this is the book for you. This is by far the best collection I have ever read. It changed my life and would wager any amount of money you will find a similar response. Don't even think about it; Just get it!!!
