The Atonement (Pullan)
Overview
Before examining the doctrine of the atonement, Leighton Pullan provides two chapters of introduction; the first on sin, the second on Jesus Christ. He then traces the atonement through the Old Testament, the Synoptic Gospels, the writings of St. John, the primitive Jewish Christian teachings (as taught by St. Paul), and the Epistle to the Hebrews.

“‘He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy’ (Proverbs 28:13).” (Page 63)
“Atheism has promised expansion and enjoyment, and has then taught us that man is a slave to instincts and passions which soon lose all charm and lead to misery; it has urged us to live our own life and to take all that we wish, and has then taught us to welcome the thought of suicide and Nirvana. To lure a man from under his grey Christian sky and his hope of waking up after God’s likeness, and then to show him that the whole world is putrid and that the shortness of life is ‘its best attribute,’ and that annihilation is his consolation, is a very sorry joke. The new pagan tidings of great joy has turned out to be that man is merely an unhappy beast.” (Page 3)
“Thou shalt take no gift: for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous’ (Exodus 23:8).” (Page 63)
