The
doctrine of the Atonement by the blood of Christ is the foundation
of the Christian religion. Clearly then, a thorough and harmonious
understanding of this subject is essential for all Christians.
The Atonement, however, although confessed by all, is understood
in its entirety by relatively few. The various ideas and theories
concerning it are disconnected and vague. So also, then, must
be the resulting faith built upon these vague concepts.
The Atonement Between God and Man provides a detailed study
of:
*
the Atonement accomplished by Jesus Christ
*
why Jesus' sacrifice was necessary
*
Jesus' role as the Mediator of the New Covenant
*
the baptism, seal and witness of the Holy Spirit
*
the meaning of the word "soul"
*
how the curse of sin and death will be lifted in Christ's Kingdom
*
the basis for belief that Jesus Christ is "the ransom for
all" (2 Timothy 2:5,6)
Few
books in modern times have achieved as much depth in the understanding
of God's atoning work accomplished through Jesus Christ. As revealed
in the Old Testament record, the author traces the Day of Atonement
types and shadows as they point forward to Christ -- and beyond,
to the future work of Christ to be accomplished in His Millennial
Kingdom.
