Excerpt from The Atoning Life This little book has some faults whereof its author is keenly aware, and others that he cannot know. But the reader is asked to remember that it does not set out to become a chapter in systematic theology. Its aim is to make clear the lines of approach to the Atonement. One of the pressing needs of minister and layman alike is a vital theology that springs from life and, returning quickly to the life out of Which it sprang, gives form and clarity to experience. The hope that this little book may help some of his brethren toward that goal gives the author the courage to publish it.
