Description: George Smeaton was one of the great luminaries in the theological galaxy which graced New College, Edinburgh, in the second half of the nineteenth century. His colleague James MacGregor said that he possessed 'the best constituted theological intellect in Christendom'. His invaluable study of our Lord's teaching on the significance of his death gives substance to that claim. In it we find Smeaton's sensitive theological acument, his skill in judicious exposition, and his evident devotion to the person of Jesus Christ - all combined in a masterly survey of the Gospel texts which illumine the doctrine of the atonement. Christ's Doctrine of the Atonement, like its companion volume on the Apostles' doctrine, is a work to be read and re-read. Those who possess it will often find themselves instinctively turning to consult Smeaton for insight on passages where other works have failed them.

"In my opinion every minister of the gospel should read Smeaton's two volumes on the atonement which were first published in the early 1870s and have been republished by the Banner of Truth.
     You don't need to get much beyond the first fifty pages of Christ's Doctrine of the Atonement to realise that the twenty-first century 'evangelical' alternatives to penal substitution, and the related reworking of the attributes of God as the lens through which we view the atonement, were well known in the Victorian era, were well weighed by this judicious Scottish theologian, and were well refuted by his able pen.
     Beyond the polemic value of the work, which is considerable, lies its worth as a example of the marriage of the best exegetical theology and the warmth of genuine Christian piety.
     If you want to get a better grasp of the biblical categories, terminology, and texts about the atonement, and if you want that survey to present the truth about Christ in such a way as to magnify him as the Saviour you need, you can do no better than to pick up and read the volumes of George Smeaton."
