Excerpt from Atonement; Soteriology: The Sacrificial, in Contrast With the Penal, Substitutionary, and Merely Moral or Exemplary Theories of Propitiation The third part comprises a brief argument in favor of an atonement for all men. The matter was originally prepared for the theo logical classes, and was delivered to them in lecture form. For convenience this form is retained in the book. At one time I thought of publishing the whole in three volumes, each part forming one volume. But, for reasons deemed sufficient, an abridgement 'of the whole is published in one volume. All the parts, especially the first and third, have been very much abridged. The third part, as originally pre pared for the classes, comprises a full examination of the arguments for and against a limited atone merit.
