J. I . PACK E R , Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College “ I cannot imagine that this book could have been published twenty-five years ago: there were not at that time enough well-informed theologians working in the Reformed heritage to produce a volume of such clarity and competence. This book will elicit adoration as its readers ponder afresh what Jesus achieved on the cross.” “ The topic is worthy enough. Yet the lineup of contributors to this volume makes this, in my view, the most impressive defense of definite atonement in over a century.”

M I CH A E L H O RTO N, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

“ This is the definitive study. It is careful, comprehensive, deep, pastoral, and thoroughly persuasive.”

DAV I D F. W E L L S, Distinguished Senior Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary “ Written by first-rate exegetes and theologians, this book covers all the difficult issues and emerges with a highly persuasive and attractive case. Highly recommended!”

J O H N M . F R A M E , J. D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary

“ For whom did Christ die? This volume makes a fresh and impressively comprehensive case for definite atonement as the answer true to Scripture.”
