The Atonement and the Modern Mind
BY JAMES DENNEY, D.D.

PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND THEOLOGY

In this brief (3 Chapter) work by Denney (Scotch Presbyterian), he examines the Atonement. His chapters are a Preliminary Definition, Sin and the Divine reaction against It, and Christ and Man in the Atonement.

This book was originally published in 1903 and is now in the public domain in the United States.

Chapter III – Christ and Man in the Atonement

PREFACE

The three chapters which follow have already appeared in The Expositor, and may be regarded as a supplement to the writer’s work on The Death of Christ: its place and interpretation in the New Testament. It was no part of his intention in that study to ask or to answer all the questions raised by New Testament teaching on the subject; but, partly from reviews of The Death of Christ, and still more from a considerable private correspondence to which the book gave rise, he became convinced that something further should be attempted to commend the truth to the mind and conscience of the time. The difficulties and misunderstandings connected with it spring, as far as they can be considered intellectual, mainly from two sources. Either the mind is preoccupied with a conception of the world which, whether men are conscious of it or not, forecloses all the questions which are raised by any doctrine of atonement, and makes them unmeaning; or it labours under some misconception as to what the New Testament actually teaches. Broadly speaking, the first of these conditions is considered in the first two chapters, and the second in the last. The title–The Atonement and the Modern Mind–might seem to promise a treatise, or even an elaborate system of theology; but though it would cover a work of vastly larger scope than the present, it is not inappropriate to any attempt, however humble, to help the mind in which we all live and move to reach a sympathetic comprehension of the central truth in the Christian religion. The purpose of the writer is evangelic, whatever may be said of his method; it is to commend the Atonement to the human mind, as that mind has been determined by the influences and experiences of modern times, and to win the mind for the truth of the Atonement.

With the exception of a few paragraphs, these pages were delivered as lectures to a summer school of Theology which met in Aberdeen, in June of this year. The school was organised by a committee of the Association of Former Students of the United Free Church College, Glasgow; and the writer, as a member and former President of the Association, desires to take the liberty of inscribing his work to his fellow-students.

GLASGOW, September 1903.

Note that I am reworking the entire website. Sorry for the inconvenience. As I find modules that are not in the zips, I will add them to the download page instead of adding them to the zip. So please check back from time to time even though you have already downloaded a particular zip pack because there may be some additions at the bottom of the page. --D.C.

Oldies but Goodies
I am going to go back into my archives and renew some old posts (single modules) that will expire after a few days. Putting all 2000 that were live (4000 actually counting the ones waiting to be posted also) that are in the archives as live seems to bring the site down. So I will see how this works. Take note that these posts will be live for 7 days and then will be deleted, so if you visit this site regularly, you will see them, but get them while they are up. (And remember to visit the site various times during each week.)

I am working for you, so please donate something (any amount) for my labors: Paypal paypal.com/paypalme/davidcoxmex/
