Remensnyder, Junius Benjamin. Atonement and modern thought; with an introd. by B: B. Warfield. $1. Lutheran pub. soc.
“Dr. Remensnyder makes a vigorous presentation of the Lutheran conception of the Atonement in its antagonism to the characteristic tendencies of modern thought. As thus conceived it was an objective transaction in which Christ as the sinner’s substitute bore the punishment due to sin. The Atonement thus viewed is presented as the central truth of Christianity.”—Outlook.
