The Death Of Christ: Its Place And Interpretation In The New TestamentPREFACE

THE subject of this book must not be ex
tended beyond the promise of the title.
It is not an exhaustive treatise on the
Atonement or on Justification : it is an
examination of the New Testament teach
ing on the Death of Christ.

That the death of Christ has a place in
the New Testament which demands for it
the most careful consideration will not be
questioned by any one ; and though the
ground has often been traversed, in whole
or in part, before, there are reasons which
justify at the present time such a study
as follows. One is that, so far as the
writer can judge, the death of Christ has
not the place assigned to it, either in
preaching or in theology, which it has in
the New Testament. There have been
conspicuous examples of essays and even
treatises on the Atonement, standing in no
discoverable relation to the New Testa
ment. The proportions of average current
Christianity are not those of apostolic
Christianity ; and if the latter is in any
sense normal, it is desirable that we should
rectify our impressions by it. To aid in
this, by setting the death of Christ in that
relief in which it stands out in the New
Testament, is part of the writer s purpose.
Further, the critical investigation of Scrip
ture, which has been the task of the last
two generations, necessitates a fresh survey
of the ground in the light which it con
tributes. It is not possible, in a study
which touches upon almost every book in
the New Testament, to enter in detail into
all the critical questions which might be
raised : this would be to exhaust another
science by way of preliminary. The writer
has tried to say what seemed essential where
the questions raised are of real importance,
and for the rest he can only beg his readers
to believe that he does not write in ignor
ance of them. A further justification for
such a study as this at the present moment
may be found in the fact that an adequate
apprehension of New Testament teaching
on Christ s death will be found to contain
the solution, or some contribution towards
the solution, of many practical and theo
logical problems which are exercising the
mind of the Church. On this something
has been said in the last chapter.
