Redemption: the Christian doctrine set in the light of history

By John Dick Fleming

Book Overview

Redemption: The Christian Doctrine Set In The Light Of History is a book written by J. Dick Fleming and originally published in 1921. The book explores the concept of redemption in Christian theology and how it has evolved throughout history. Fleming examines the origins of the doctrine of redemption, tracing its roots back to the Old Testament and the Jewish tradition. He then goes on to explore how the concept of redemption was developed in the New Testament and how it has been interpreted by theologians throughout history. The book also delves into the various theories of atonement that have been put forward over the centuries, including the satisfaction theory, the penal substitution theory, and the moral influence theory. Fleming provides a critical analysis of each of these theories and their implications for Christian theology. Throughout the book, Fleming emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context in which the doctrine of redemption has developed. He argues that a proper understanding of this context is essential for interpreting the meaning of redemption in a modern context. Overall, Redemption: The Christian Doctrine Set In The Light Of History is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of redemption in Christian theology. It provides a valuable resource for theologians and scholars interested in understanding the historical development of this important doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
