I first came across Professor Donald Macleod through his doctrinal introduction, A Faith to Live By. While clear and accessible, this was profound theology from the pen of one who was clearly an intellectual giant.
I have read some of his other writing since then, including a stimulating blog that goes by his name, and find him engaging, thoughtful and not a little provocative. For over four decades Prof. Macleod has served the Free Church of Scotland as pastor, scholar, theologian, author, editor, and college principal, and even though into his 70s, he remains at the college as systematics professor. With such a legacy, the writing of this festschrift, including some 15 essays, is apt indeed.
