Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""The Doctrine of Atonement Examined in the Light of Scripture and Reason"" is written by J.F. Kennard. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the Christian doctrine of atonement, which is the belief that Jesus Christ's death on the cross was a sacrifice that reconciled humanity with God. The author examines the doctrine through the lens of both scripture and reason, providing a thorough analysis of its historical and theological foundations.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the doctrine of atonement. Kennard begins by examining the biblical basis for the doctrine, looking at key passages from both the Old and New Testaments. He then considers the historical development of the doctrine, tracing its evolution from the early church to the present day.Throughout the book, Kennard engages with various theological perspectives on the doctrine of atonement, including those of Anselm, Calvin, and Abelard. He also considers objections to the doctrine, such as the idea that it portrays God as a vengeful deity who requires blood sacrifice to forgive sin.Overall, ""The Doctrine of Atonement Examined in the Light of Scripture and Reason"" is a thoughtful and thorough exploration of one of Christianity's most fundamental beliefs. It will be of interest to theologians, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the doctrine of atonement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
