The Smeaton Theology Collection (3 Vols.), written by the inimitable George Smeaton, brings his powerful exegesis and passionate commentary to bear on three pivotal aspects of Scripture: the atonement from the perspective of Christ Himself, the atonement from the apostles' view, and the various concepts and characterizations of the Holy Spirit. Always known for his strong views and strident approach to God's Message for mankind, the author's presentation here has not diminished with time—the truths he heralded shine as brightly now as ever before.
Smeaton’s timeless perspectives on important theological topics speak powerfully to contemporary theological discussions. His works on the doctrine of the atonement, in particular, offer thoughtful and accessible approaches to a hotly-contested theological debate.

The Doctrine of the Atonement, As Taught by Christ Himself
- Author: George Smeaton
- 502 pages
- Originally published in 1868
Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
The Doctrine of the Atonement, As Taught by Christ Himself deals with nearly every passage in the Gospels referring to the death of Christ. In this volume Smeaton examines parallel Bible texts in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as well as passages in which Christ personally explains the nature, scope, and result of his death on behalf of mankind. The author presents Jesus' explanations of his death and resurrection as proof that God indeed forgives those sinners who trust in Him. His death as a substitution for the resolution of their personal sin is shown to be God's guarantee of redemption. Smeaton describes in depth these Gospel accounts in which Jesus offered insight into the divine view of the cross.

The Doctrine of the Atonement, As Taught by the Apostles
- Author: George Smeaton
- 548 pages
- Originally published in 1870
Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
Thanks to George Smeaton's faithful use of his exceptional gifts as a theologian and exegete, The Doctrine of the Atonement, As Taught by the Apostles is a brilliant study, serving as both a doctrinal discourse on the atonement, and a treatise on the key passages in the New Testament. One of the features of this insightful book, which serves to make it so relevant and important to us today, is the author's examination and explanation of every passage of the Bible dealing with the atonement. A by-product of addressing each and every verse pertinent to the subject is that the book is redundant in a most effective way—delivering the same messages repeatedly from slightly different perspectives, thus enhancing, embellishing, and deepening the reader's understanding of the gospel. Smeaton’s comprehensive biblical approach to the doctrine of the atonement makes an important book for understanding a scriptural approach to the various theories of atonement, as well as a clear-headed overview of the issues surrounding the current debate over the atonement.

The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
- Author: George Smeaton
- 406 pages
- Originally published in 1882
Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
Taking a three-fold approach to The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit, Smeaton first examines scriptural testimony on the Holy Spirit. Next, he gives details on six aspects of the Holy Spirit: the perceived "personality" of the Holy Spirit; the Spirit's influence by revelation and inspiration; how the Holy Spirit brings about an individual's regeneration; the Spirit of holiness; and the Holy Spirit in the church. Finally, he concludes with a historical survey of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit from the apostolic age.

Praise for the Print Editions
Smeaton was an outstanding scholar with a brilliant mind and a deep love for Christ. My own conviction is that these… great volumes should regularly be in the hands of every person who teaches and preaches the gospel of Christ. They are treasure troves.
