“Mr Rashdall traces the history of the doctrine of the atonement down from its pre-Christian origins through the New Testament, and then by way of the Apostolic fathers, the Latin theology, the Schoolmen, and the Reformers down to modern times. His main interest lies in the controversy between the subjective and the objective types of atonement doctrines.”—Nation

“Even so competent and scholarly a discussion as this of Mr Rashdall’s carries with it a suggestion of belonging to a stage which we have left behind us. Those who are acquainted with Mr Rashdall’s work will find the sincerity and thoroughness of discussion which they have learned to expect from him.” R: Roberts

“It is probably the most important constructive treatise on systematic theology which has been published by an English divine during the present century. Parts of it will be found difficult by readers who are not experts in theology, for it deals with problems of great complexity. But it is both subtle and lucid; it is a unity and not patchwork; and, as compared with the reticence of some fairly recent work, it is remarkably outspoken.”
