Excerpt from Redeemer and Redeemed: An Investigation of the Atonement and of Eternal Judgment
I awoke into consciousness in a sphere of intense relig ious thought and emotion. My father was - ih his prime When the first dawnings of my mind which memory recalls occurred, and by his profound faith in eternal things, evinced in every conceivable way, stimulated to the highest degree those supernatural and ideal tenden cies predominant in my constitution.
Almost the earliest feeling I can recollect is a constant longing for something indefinite, a feeling mysterious, and sad beyond description. I can remember lying on the floor and looking at the sunbeams on the carpet, when I could not have been more than five years of age, and thinking how unhappy I was, and philosophizing on the subject in a kind of bewildered wonder. I can recall summer evenings when the great family mansion at Litch field was left empty, - the doors wide open, and the crickets were cutting the air like a fife, shrill and keen, feeling a sense of desolation, and a yearning for some thing unknown, that no sadness or sorrow of maturer years has ever surpassed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the history and development of the concept of atonement in Christian theology. The author traces the origins of the idea that Christ's death was a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and analyzes the arguments used to support this theory. The author argues that this theory is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of justice and mercy, and that it is incompatible with the true nature of God. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the true nature of atonement, and its implications for our understanding of God and our relationship with him.
