The author, Ben Pugh, provides us with a well-written and informative book on atonement [...] Students in theology, but also researchers and ministers will find the book most helpful and stimulating.
— Cornelis van der Laan

'This scholarly but highly readable overview of the theories of God's atoning work in Christ is a 'must have' for anyone who is tasked with preaching on the subject..I would warmly recommend this book to preachers, and theological students working in contexts ranging from A-level to ministerial training, as well as to spiritual directors and those who train them.'
— Lorraine Cavanagh

Ben Pugh casts a Protestant eye over the varied ways in which the atonement has been understood through Christian history. A series of perceptive summaries produce a mini-encyclopedia of the atonement, for which students will be particularly grateful, but he skilfully sets out the sometimes surprising ways in which different approaches have interacted.
— Dr Forster
