Donald Macleod's guiding star has always been and remains 'What says the Scripture?' There is no tradition or practice that cannot be re-examined in the light of Scripture. He has constantly reminded us of the great Reformation principle - our authority is 'Scripture Alone'
What is most important is that, like his Master, people hear Donald Macleod gladly.
He makes little concession in his lecturing or preaching to ignorance of Biblical truth, and he makes no apology for theological language. Nevertheless, because he makes doctrine come alive, people are drawn in, people of all different backgrounds as they yield to the Spirit speaking through this man, feeling his eyes are seeing far-off things which he is helping them to glimpse. They are drawn into a new world of exciting vistas of undreamed-of theological truth, and are raised by high oratory to a new level of understanding of their God and Saviour. Truly he is the people's theologian.

This book is a festschrift, that is a book honouring a respected person, especially an academic, presented to them during their lifetime. The person in question is Donald Macleod, the occasionally controversial Scottish theologian, author and preacher. This book was presented to him on the occasion of his formal retirement from the Free Church College earlier in 2011.
The book is divided into four main sections: biographical, historical theology, systematic theology, and theology and the church. twenty different people have made contributions. Unsurprisingly, the book does not have an overriding theme except that each article has some connection with Donald Macleod’s life or his interests.
The biographical section gives us a pen picture of the man himself although the contributors shy away from an unbiased assessment. Not surprisingly, given the purpose of this book, they avoid any real discussion of the more controversial events of his life.
The theological sections are, by and large, aimed at seminary students and serious students of the word. There is much that is helpful and edifying: particular highlights for me were the chapters on the theology of Samuel Rutherford and how a preacher should read the Scriptures.
For those who have a love of theology and especially reformed Scottish theology this book will be an enjoyable read.
