James Denney: Scottish Theologian par excellence!

Returned in heart and mind to some favourite passages of James Denney as an exercise in theological re-alignment. What a writer – and what a pastor of souls! His theological passion and pastoral precision are benchmarks of Christ-centred ministry.

Eyrwho121 "It is not open or unanswered questions that paralyse; it is ambiguous or evasive answers, or answers of which we can make no use, because we cannot make them our own. And it is not the acceptance of any theology, or christology, however penetrating or profound, which keeps us Christian; we remain loyal to our Lord and Saviour only because He has apprehended us, and His hand is strong".

    It is so good to see Denney being quoted in the world of blogdom. He had an adroitness for articulating great truth, indeed, ‘the’ great truth. Hence his words have that timeless quality about them. May there be many more words from JD, and many more raised up like him. Thanks again.
