The Atonement in the Light of History and the Modern Spirit
Overview
In The Atonement in the Light of History and the Modern Spirit, David Smith overviews three historic interpretations of the doctrine: the ransom theory, the satisfaction theory, and the forensic theory. He then divides his study into four sections representing “modern” interpretations: fatherhood and sacrifice, the satisfaction of man’s moral instincts, imputation and heredity, and man’s offering to God.
