The Doctrine of Holy Scripture Respecting the Atonement

“The Atonement is a pure matter of revelation. Whether as regards the truths which it embodies, the principles on which it rests, or the ends to which it is conducive, we have no reliable means of information beyond what God has given us in His Word.” Thomas J. Crawford divides his study of the atonement into four parts: the atonement as found in the New Testament, the atonement as found in the Old Testament, a review of various theories respecting the sufferings of Christ, and a review of objections to the scriptural doctrine of the atonement.
