Donald Macleod

Prior to that, he had been very much been a close associate of Thomas Chalmers.

One of the reasons why I studied Cunningham was, as I studied here at ETS between 2011 and 2014, one of my lecturers was the late Donald MacLeod.

And he had said to us in passing that Cunningham was his favourite theologian.

And so that piqued my interest.

And I actually discovered that Donald MacLeod and one or two others would also describe Cunningham as Scotland's greatest theologian.

Interesting.

And again, that kind of sparked my interest further.

The Reformed theology, that's a key part of our heritage in the Scottish church here.

The effects of sin have affected your mind, they've affected your will, they've affected your affections, but the image of God is not totally lost.

Donald MacLeod writes, if our understanding of Paul in Romans 1 is correct, there is no such thing as an atheist.

John Calvin said, God has endued all people with some sense of the Godhead.

And the result of that is that a sense of deity is inscribed onto every heart.
