Book Description
An important anthology that reaffirms the classic doctrine of
substitutionary atonement and counters the ongoing attacks against it.
If ever there was a time and a need for an enthusiastic reaffirmation of
the biblical doctrine of substitutionary atonement, it is now. With this
foundational tenet under widespread attack, J. I. Packer and Mark
Dever's anthology plays an important role, issuing a clarion call to
readers to stand firm in the truth.
In My Place Condemned He Stood combines three classic articles by Packer
("The Heart of the Gospel"; his Tyndale Biblical Theology Lecture, "What
Did the Cross Achieve"; and his introductory essay to John Owen's The
Death of Death in the Death of Christ)with Dever's recent article,
"Nothing but the Blood." It also features a foreword by the four
principals of Together for the Gospel: Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J.
Mahaney, and Al Mohler. Thoughtful readers looking for a compact classic
on this increasingly controversial doctrine need look no farther than
this penetrating volume.
