Atonement signifies the reconciliation and restoration between God and man provided by Christ’s death. The entire message of salvation comes close to being encapsulated in this one word. And yet the doctrine of atonement is under attack. Some ‘evangelical’ books have recently sought to challenge our view of this central Christian doctrine. In fact, few components of the Christian faith are currently as hotly debated as this one. This book gathers some of the church’s best-known pastor-theologians to illuminate this important topic, from presentations at the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology. Included are: J I Packer, J M Boice, R C Sproul and S Ferguson.
