The Atonement in Modern Religious Thought: A Theological Symposium

The Present volume consists of a series of articles on the Atonement contributed to The Christian World newspaper during the winter of 1899-1900. It may be taken as an answer to the question whether the Christian consciousness of today in the view of modern historical critical and ethical investigation has any fresh affirmation to make or any new attitude to assume on this central doctrine of the Churchs faith. The response comes as will be seen from distinguished representatives not only of different ecclesiastical communions and of different nationalities but of widely separated schools of religious thought. -- Original Publishers Note
