About this title

From the Back Cover:

'A theology of the atonement should move one to worship and prayer. J. McLeod Campbell does exactly that. Much in harmony with the renewed interest in the Trinity, McLeod Campbell reawakens the doctrine of the atonement, the 'sleeping giant' of Christian doctrine, with its rich implications for spirituality and ministry.... The church today needs a new biblical paradigm of the atonement as is found in The Nature of the Atonement, which sees the atonement as the development of the incarnation of God and therefore as the manifestation of God as love.' - from Christian D. Kettler, Friends University

About the Author:

J. McLoed Campbell (1800–1872) is now recognized as one of the great Scottish theologians of the nineteenth century, primarily because of his book The Nature of the Atonement (1856). Living in an age and in a church that deposed him for heresy, Campbell was passionately concerned to share the good news of a God who revealed himself as a “Lover,” not simply as a “Lawgiver.” He was educated at Glasgow University and Divinity Hall. His other books include Reminiscences and Reflections.
