Yes and he's also very enlightening and had a big influence on CS Lewis. Check out his book "Unspoken Sermons"

The odd thing about Macdonald is that even though he was a Scottish Congregationalist, his theology bears a striking similarity, at times to Eastern Orthodoxy, which was completely accidental. A rare case where an individual's innovations brings him closer to tradition (although he was heretical on other counts).

I'm pretty sure he was a Unitarian, or at least had non-trinitarian leanings

Nope, wrong. He as a calvinist, I checked it. He believed in universal salvation though (perhaps you've mistaken it with unitarianism) which makes me to believe that he did have certain Orthodox influence

Orthodox space empire sounds pretty badass, going to pick this up.

I'll be honest, as a Chrisitan I think Christian horror sucks more often than not. It's too hopeful for horror. Christianity fits better for other genres, od a Christian writer writes a horror he should write it from a non-christian perspective, portraying horrors of the world without God.

>Christ-like executioner

There's something … alarmingly … antithetical in that sentence …

From revelations 19:

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

To be a good executioner requires a lot of humility and forgivingness. For a long time being an executioner was considered to be an occupation for the lowest-of-the-low, causing a caste-like system to form in which the sons of executioner were themselves forced to become executioners. Christ-like executioners were a real thing.
