New issue of a theological classic on the atonement Originally published in 1955 and reprinted dozens of times over the years, John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied systematically explains the two sides of redemption -- its accomplishment through Christ's atonement and its application to the lives of believers. Murray explores the biblical passages dealing with the necessity, nature, perfection, and extent of the atonement in order to establish its relationship to our justification, sanctification, and glorification. He goes on to identify the distinct steps in the Bible's presentation of how the redemption accomplished by Christ is applied progressively to the life of the redeemed, including the role of faith and repentance. Concise, precise, and accessible, Murray's classic doctrinal study will now reach and benefit a new generation of readers.
