The Moral System and the Atonement

Samuel Davies Cochran’s theory of the atonement begins with accepting the common view of its nature as an infinitely valuable expiatory satisfaction to God and proceeds to a position of its intention. He examines the mode of God’s existence, the Incarnation of Christ, the redemptive plan and eternal purpose of God, expiation and propitiation, Christ’s relations and his atonement to mankind, and much more. Cochran also gives in-depth critiques of various alternate theories concerning the doctrine.
