For Whom Did Christ Die?: Reconciling Unlimited Atonement and Limited Atonement - Paperback

by R. J. Arthur (Author)

For centuries, there have been several apparent irreconcilable tensions between the "Limited Atonement" and the "Unlimited Atonement" theological perspectives. In many ways, as will be seen, both groups (i.e. "Limited Atonement" and "Unlimited Atonement") are correct. Even though both have biblically sound viewpoints, they also have biased erroneous interpretations as well. The biblical teachings of these differing perspectives, as well as their biased interpretations, will be exposed by exegeting Romans 5:12-21 and interpreting their proof texts in light of this passage. This will answer the following three fundamental questions:1). For whom did Jesus die?2). What effect does Jesus' atonement have upon whom? Or in other words, what is the efficacy of Jesus' atonement?3). Monergism or Synergism? Or in other words, what participation does mankind have in their own salvation?
