Overview
Leon Morris’s story needs to be told. In this unique and long-awaited work Neil Bach shows Leon Morris as a prodigious and original thinker from the wrong side of the world who restored the credibility of evangelical scholarship and the centrality of the cross. Many of us have been nurtured by his enormously helpful books on the cross, but few know about the obstacles that had to be overcome. The author gives us a life of Leon Morris which is true to the man, unflinching in its evaluation of his work and inspiring in its conclusions. The book claims what evangelicals have widely acknowledged: Leon Morris was, and remains, Australia’s most influential international scholar and pastor.

When I think of Leon Morris, I think of three words: inductive, evangelical, courageous. Time and time again Leon Morris asked Bible readers to go back to the evidence of the Bible to re-examine what to think and what to believe and how to live. In his day and apart from F.F. Bruce, Leon Morris was the most influential evangelical theologian in the world and he exercised that influence mostly through his inductive pen.
