Elijah the Tishbite. Miscellaneous Writings of C. H. Mackintosh, vol. V

This volume gathers a series of thoughtful essays that explore how divine grace meets the human heart when it is truly empty. Beginning with a vivid illustration from the defeat of Israel, the author shows that humility and honest self‑examination are the doorway through which God’s fullness can flow. The writing moves from ancient narratives to the present, drawing clear lines between the Israelites’ failure to recognize their condition and the contemporary believer’s need for contrition. Throughout, the tone stays scholarly yet pastoral, inviting listeners to consider how surrender can become the conduit for spiritual renewal.

The collection spans a wide array of topics—divine titles, the discipline of the church, the Christian’s mission, prayer, unity, and living by faith—each treated with careful biblical reference and earnest reflection. Shorter pieces such as “One‑Sided Theology” and “Grace and Government” probe the tension between doctrine and practice, while longer studies like “The True Workman” examine the character of service. Listeners will find a rich tapestry of verses and insights that encourage both personal devotion and communal responsibility, making the work a valuable companion for anyone seeking depth in their spiritual journey.
