Reviews

[Phillip R Neal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic on Atonement

It is a must read book given it is a classic on the subject. Very good presentation throughout. Like most who approach the subject little is done to put forth a teaching of the Holy Spirit. Denny touches on how because of the sacrifice we too will live like the master but doesn't touch on how that is empowered.

[Mark Ackeret · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pretty heavy theologically but comprehendable. Denney randomly includes explanations in foreign languages without further translation. His last few chapters on preaching and living the atonement are most helpful.

Good.

The best and most important book on the death of Christ ever written.
