Synopsis

This book explores the evolution of the Christian doctrine of atonement, tracing its historical development from the early church fathers to the present day. The author examines the various theories of atonement, including the substitutionary, moral influence, and governmental theories, and argues that the church has consistently understood the atonement as a multifaceted event that involves both the satisfaction of divine justice and the reconciliation of sinners to God. The book also explores the relationship between the atonement and other Christian doctrines, such as the Trinity, incarnation, and salvation. By examining the historical development of the doctrine of atonement, the author sheds light on the ongoing debates about the nature of Christ's work and its significance for salvation. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought, the doctrine of atonement, or the nature of salvation.
