An important anthology that reaffirms the classic doctrine
of substitutionary atonement and counters the ongoing
attacks against it.
If ever there was a time and a need for an enthusiastic
reaffirmation of the biblical doctrine of substitutionary
atonement, it is now. With this foundational tenet under widespread
attack, J. I. Packer and Mark Dever's anthology plays an important
role, issuing a clarion call to readers to stand firm in the
truth.
In My Place Condemned He Stood combines three classic
articles by Packer-"The Heart of the Gospel"; his Tyndale Biblical
Theology Lecture, "What Did the Cross Achieve"; and his
introductory essay to John Owen's The Death of Death in the
Death of Christ-with Dever's recent article, "Nothing but the
Blood." It also features a foreword by the four principals of
Together for the Gospel: Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney, and Al
Mohler. Thoughtful readers looking for a compact classic on this
increasingly controversial doctrine need look no farther than this
penetrating volume.
