Why George MacDonald "turned with loathing from the god of Jonathan Edwards" - Ron Dart


"In an interview between John Piper and Tim Keller, Piper quotes George MacDonald as saying, "I turn with loathing from the god of Jonathan Edwards." This leads Keller to question whether MacDonald was a Christian. Why would MacDonald say such a thing of this American hero of the Great Awakening?

Maurice, who played a role in liberating MacDonald to a new way of seeing God."
