Unlimited Atonement

“Bird and Harrower have brought together a diverse group of scholars who represent many of the best and varied answers to the perennial question, ‘For whom did Jesus die?’ The end result is a helpful collection of essays that dig deep into the biblical text and the history of the church, pushing us to consider this question afresh.”–Brandon D. Smith “Assistant Professor of Theology and New Testament, Cedarville University, co-founder of the Center for Baptist Renewal” (12/20/2022 12:00:00 AM)“Studies in the history of Christian doctrine simultaneously chasten, nourish, and inspire constructive contemporary theological work. This volume on Amyraut and hypothetical universalism opens the door to a trajectory within church history that promises to do precisely that, particularly in regard to the doctrine of the atonement.”–Adam J. Johnson “Biola University” (12/20/2022 12:00:00 AM)“This volume addresses a pressing theological issue by assembling colleagues with different points of interest and expertise (interpreters, theologians, historians, philosophers, and preachers). In the best ways, this volume feels like an engaging conversation in which the participants strike different tones, some quite irenic making precisely qualified claims and some a bit fierier challenging established patterns of thought. The result is a well-rounded look at unlimited atonement within the Reformed tradition through philosophical, theological, historical, and pastoral perspectives.”–Joshua E. Williams “Associate Professor of Old Testament, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary” (12/20/2022 12:00:00 AM)
