Substitution: A Treatise On The Atonement is a book written by Marshall Randles and originally published in 1877. The book is a theological treatise on the concept of atonement, which is the idea that Jesus Christ's death on the cross served as a substitution for the punishment that humanity deserved for their sins.

It is intended for a Christian audience and seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the doctrine of atonement from a traditional Protestant perspective.
