Excerpt from A Lawyer's Brief on the Atonement, Vol. 1The reader is advised, in his first perusal of the book, to refrain from examining the Scripture citations, so that he may better keep the continuity of the argument and may get its full force. As the argument is condensed, it will be understood that, in practical use, it is meant to be amplified and illustrated as occasion may require, and that, in reading its opening portions (including Sections I to III, inclusive, which are in the nature of an introduction and are meant to lay a foundation for what follows), it will be found desirable to proceed slowly and thoughtfully, so as to gain a good understanding of the truths considered, in their logical relations. Wherever the argument rests partly on views which may seem, to some of the readers, antiquated, or wherever it is based to any extent on passages of Scripture which they may deem, in the light of recent criticism, of insufficient authority, it is suggested that they pass over such views or omit such passages, and consider whether, without them, the theory of the Atonement herein set forth is not, on the whole, well grounded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
