The Atonement (Bowne)

by Bowne

Publishers:

Curts & Jennings; Eaton and Mains

, 1900

Overview

This study of the atonement, while dealing with theory, is primarily practical. It is Borden Bowne’s conviction that the gracious truth in the doctrine has often been hidden by theological theories which, while well-meant, are mainly misleading or confusing. Further, while many of these theories are antiquated or greatly modified in most theological circles, their echoes remain in popular religious thought and trouble many minds that have not learned to distinguish between Christian fact and theological theory. Thus, the doctrine of divine grace becomes a stumbling block. Bowne removes this obstacle by explaining the doctrine in straightforward language.
