Publisher description
Excerpt from A Lawyer's Brief on the Atonement, Vol. 1 The following discussion of the Atonement is a brief presentation of the subject, which it is hoped will be useful to the ordinary reader of the Bible. Its purpose is to set forth clearly the fundamental principles of the atoning work, as they appear to be taught in the Scriptures, - to show their philosophic relations to each other, - and to make plain the wisdom of the plan of salvation as revealed through Jesus Christ. The method of treating the subject is such as the author has been accustomed to in the preparation of briefs for service in courts of jurisprudence. Although there are some disadvantages in this method, it is believed that they will be more than offset by the gain in bringing the important points into closer relations with each other, so as best to show their mutual bearings and general effect. With a similar end in view, courts usually require briefs in complex cases. Frequent references are made to Scripture proofs; but, since it is felt that, in many instances, they will not be deemed by all of sufficient authority, attention is often invited to the underlying principles of the relations between God and man - principles which, in the very nature of things, are inherent, and whence there appears to be no escape. In a good number of cases, however, the portions of Scripture cited are referred to not because they are thought needful as proofs, but rather to call attention to their harmony with the course of reasoning pursued, and to show their availability for purposes of instruction.
