Excerpt from The Gospel of Paul IN the following pagesi present an interpreta tion of Paul's doctrine of the atonement which I believe to be new. Others, indeed, have had in their hands the clue that I have followed; but they have speedily dropped, it as of small ac count. When I speak of an interpretation of Paul's doctrine of the atonement, I do not mean a theory of my own of a possible scheme of atonement, to which some of Paul's words may be made to fit more or less loosely. I mean a statement Which has nothing in it of my own, but which is based wholly upon an examination of the words of Paul these being taken in their most natural and direct signification.
