Preface
This volume, it will be obvious, does not profess to be a
systematic treatise on the great Doctrine of the Atonement. For
that reason, I would have been glad to give it the unpretending
title, ""Papers on the Atonement;"" and I was anxious to have done
so. But it was represented to me, by a friend in whose judgment I
have confidence, that such a designation would convey the
impression that the following discussions are miscellaneous and
fragmentary, --which a glance at the Table of Contents will show is
far from being the case. Hence I have qualified the general title,
"The Atonement," by the supplementary clause, ""In its relations to
the Covenant, the Priesthood, the Intercession of our Lord."" And
this indicates pretty exactly the real scope of the volume.
In a word, my object is to indicate certain conditions under which
the Doctrine of Atonement ought to be discussed; and that with a
twofold view. First, in order to clear away at the outset all
temptation to a priori speculation, seeing that it is not an
abstract and philosophical theory of Atonement we have to deal
with, but the revealed reality of the actual sacrifice of the Son
of God on Calvary. And, secondly, because--as I think the
intelligent reader of these pages, after perusing them, will be
prepared to admit--the discussion, when conducted under the
conditions indicated, can be pointed with the very greatest ease,
and with extreme brevity of treatment, to the overthrow of all
those current speculations of the day which have in view to set
aside the Catholic Doctrine of the Cross. Their refutation comes
out in the shape of corollaries, that are all but intuitively
obvious, and, as I believe, utterly indisputable.
It is only in the view of such occasionally occurring corollaries,
or inferences, in refutation of error, that this book can in any
sense be called controversial. Properly speaking, a controversial
volume it is not. . .

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.
