Book Overview

The Doctrine of the Atonement is a book written by John K. Mozley in 1916. This book is a comprehensive study of the Christian doctrine of atonement, which is the belief that Jesus Christ's death on the cross reconciles humanity with God. Mozley examines the historical development of the doctrine, tracing its roots back to the Old and New Testaments and exploring its evolution through the early Church Fathers, the medieval period, and the Reformation.Mozley also delves into the various theories of atonement that have been proposed throughout history, including the satisfaction theory, the penal substitution theory, and the moral influence theory. He evaluates each theory in light of Scripture and tradition, offering his own insights and critiques.Throughout the book, Mozley emphasizes the centrality of the atonement to Christian theology and the importance of understanding its implications for salvation and the Christian life. He argues that the atonement is not merely a historical event, but an ongoing reality that continues to shape the relationship between God and humanity.Overall, The Doctrine of the Atonement is a scholarly and insightful exploration of one of the most important doctrines in Christian theology. It is a valuable resource for theologians, pastors, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
