Gideon . . . And His Companions
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
How does God operate during periods of isolation and abandonment? As Israel spiraled toward disunity and fragmentation in the book of Judges, Mackintosh approaches the story of Gideon with honesty and humility. In spite of Gideon’s diminished competency, God calls him to lead Israel and rise above prevalent unbelief. Gideon . . . And His Companions serves as an accessible introduction to the life of Gideon and the complex themes in the book of Judges.
Man’s complete ruin in sin, and God’s perfect remedy in Christ, are fully, clearly, and often strikingly presented [in Mackintosh’s writings].
—Andrew Miller, a leader of the Plymouth Brethren movement

Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820–1896) was notable for his work in philanthropic work during the Irish Potatoe Famine which affected much of Ireland, Scotland, and England at the time. He converted to Christianity through correspondence with his sister and through reading John Darby's Operations of the Spirit.
