"The Seaboard Parish, Complete" is a novel by George MacDonald, originally published in 1868. The story is set in a small Scottish fishing village. It follows the life of the village minister as he navigates his pastoral duties and personal relationships and grapples with issues of faith, doubt, and morality. The novel explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of community. It remains a classic of Scottish literature and Christian fiction. The "family devotionals," dialogues, and actual sermons delivered by the fictional pastor reflect MacDonald's theology, obsessions, and views.
