Excerpt from Discourses and Dissertations on the Scriptural Doctrines of Atonement and Sacrifice: With an Appendix Containing Some Strictures on Mr. Belsham's Account of the Unitarian Scheme, in His Review of Mr. Wilberforce's Treatise
Granting, then, the ease of the Mosaic sacri fice and that of Abel to be the same; neither of them in itself efficacious; both instituted by God and both instituted in reference to that true and effi cient Sacrifice, which was one day to be offered the rite, as practised before the time of Christ, may justly be considered as a sacramental memorial, shewing forth the Lord's death until he came, (1 Cor. Xi. 26 and when accompanied with a due faith in the promises made to the early believers, may reasonably be judged to have been equal] acceptable with that sacramental me morial), which has been enjoined by our Lord himself to his followers, for the shewing forth his death until his coming again. And it deserves to be noticed, that this very ana logy seems to be intimated by our Lord, in the language used by him at the institution of that solemn Christian rite. F or, in speaking of his own blood, he calls it, in direct reference to the blood wherewith Moses established and sanctified the first covenant, the blood of the new covenant, which was shed for the remis sion of sins, (matt. Xxvi. 28 thus plainly marking out the similitude in the nature and objects of the two covenants, at the moment that he was prescribing the great sacramental commemoration of his own sacrifice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough examination of the biblical doctrines of atonement and sacrifice, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between God and humanity rooted in historical and literary context. The author begins by exploring objections raised by deists and rationalizing Christians to the concept of a mediator between God and humanity, arguing instead for the necessity of such mediation based on both natural reason and scriptural authority. The author maintains that the death of Christ, understood as an atoning sacrifice, is the means by which God reconciles humanity to himself, and explores the implications of this doctrine for our understanding of sin, forgiveness, and divine justice. Challenging common misconceptions and offering a fresh examination of the biblical evidence, this book provides a profound and thought-provoking study of one of the central tenets of Christian theology.
