(Alternative Version) The Substitutionary Atonement: an In-depth Explanation of the Substitutionary and Other Aspects of the Atonement

This book presents substitutionary atonement as the central facet of the cross while also integrating Christus Victor, satisfaction, recapitulation, and related models. It argues that the Trinity acted in unified love at Calvary and that the atonement has universal scope.
