P. T. Forsyth 
The Justification of God [PDF ebook] 
Lectures for War-Time on a Christian Theodicy

Theodicy is the attempt to adjust the ways of God to conscience. But to the conscience of God above all. That is the way taken in this book. Its object is not to bring God’s ways to the bar either of human reason or human conscience, but rather to the bar where all reason and conscience must go at last, to the standard of a holy God’s own account of Himself in Jesus Christ and His Cross.

About the author

Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848-1921) preached and pastored for twenty five years before becoming principal of Hackney College in London where he taught Systematic Theology and Preaching. Forsyth converted from theological liberalism to classical Christianity in the mid 1880s. The theological transition was, in his own words, ‘from a lover of love to an object of grace.’ A theologian of the cross, Forsyth is well known for his publications The Work of Christ, Cruciality of the Cross, and The Person and Place of Jesus Christ.
