The Apostles’ Doctrine of the Atonement

Résumé du livre

In this seminal work, George Smeaton offers a thorough examination of the New Testament doctrine of the atonement. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus and the apostolic writings, Smeaton presents a biblico-historical view of Christ's atoning death, focusing on its nature, constituent elements, and fruits. He engages with various interpretations and subtle errors, ultimately demonstrating the centrality of substitution and penal visitation in the biblical understanding of the atonement. This volume, along with its predecessor on the sayings of Jesus, provides a comprehensive study of the New Testament teaching on this crucial doctrine, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, pastors, and all those seeking a deeper understanding of Christ's redemptive work.
