Basics of the Faith - What is the Atonement?
ISBN: 9781596381681The atonement, and its significance to Christ's death on the cross, is a doctrine sadly fading from focus in our modern evangelical churches. Yet Richard Phillips asserts that it is a necessary truth for Christian salvation. As soon as we start to ask questions like "How is Jesus the Christ?". "Why do we need a Savior?", and "What did he do to save us?", the answers take us directly to Christ's atoning work. Author:
Richard D. Phillips (M.Div., Westminster Theological Seminary) is the senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church of Greenville, South Carolina. He is a council member of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, chairman of the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, and coeditor of the REC series.
This booklet explores and defends the importance of the atonement in terms of its centrality, terminology, theories, extent, and roles in ministry-the "why", "what", "for whom", and what then" of the atonement.
