Review Quotes:
"A valuable resource. [T&T Clark Companion to the Atonement] is now the most comprehensive, up-to-date, multi-author volume on the matter. ... Johnson has done everyone involved in the conversation around atonement a magnificent service. I'm sure I'll be returning to this volume time and time again." --Derek Rishmawy, Reformedish
"You will not agree with everything you read, but everything you read will inspire-if you let it." --Reading Religion "Readers will find here a wonderful array of topics matched by a superb selection of contributors, largely Reformed or Evangelical but also including eminent Catholic and Orthodox scholars. Very few books are absolutely necessary, but this one is an exception. Adam Johnson has outdone himself by producing what is truly an absolutely necessary book for anyone studying the Atonement." --Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary, USA "This is simply the most comprehensive single volume on the saving significance of the cross of Christ of which I am aware. The line-up of contributors is excellent, and in these one hundred chapters (yes you read that correctly) there is much understanding: of biblical texts, historical figures, and theological concepts. If the doctrine of the atonement is indeed the church's act of worship, as the editor suggests, then this Companion is a living and lively sacrifice of praise, what the King James Version calls a 'reasonable service' (Rom 12:1)." --Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA
