A Dream Of The Atonement (1882)

By Lewis Carroll

Book Overview

A Dream of the Atonement is a philosophical and theological work written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll. The book explores the concept of atonement, or the reconciliation of humanity with God, through a series of dream-like dialogues between the narrator and various characters. The narrator, who is never named, engages in discussions with a range of figures, including a bishop, a mathematician, a skeptic, and a child, among others. Through these conversations, Dodgson explores different theological perspectives on atonement, including the idea of substitutionary sacrifice, the role of faith and works, and the relationship between sin and redemption. The book is written in Dodgson's characteristic whimsical style, with playful wordplay and imaginative imagery. Despite its theological subject matter, A Dream of the Atonement is accessible to readers of all backgrounds and beliefs, and offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on one of the central concepts of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
