Gustaf Aulén (1879-1977) was the Bishop of Strängnäs in the Church of Sweden and the author of Christus Victor: An Historical Study of the Three Main Types of the Idea of Atonement in 1931. This classic work analyzes the doctrine of the atonement of Jesus, suggesting that the three main interpretations in Christian history are the Christus Victor theory, the Satisfaction theory, and the Moral Influence theory. Aulén is also known in the Swedish Lutheran Church as a composer of widely used church music.

[Carol Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Glimpse into a man I'd never heard of before, the Secretary General of the United Nations in the late 50's and early 60's. This book written by a family friend, and his interpretation of Dag's personal writings about his Christian faith.
