Pierced for our Transgressions is a timely, masterful and accessible exploration of the doctrine of penal substitution. It is timely because this doctrine has been under siege in recent years. It is masterful because its handling of the biblical, doctrinal and historical material is impressive. It is accessible because it is written in a way that makes maximum use of scholarly resources without obscuring the issues. This is a much needed and very welcome addition to the doctrine of the atonement. May it be used far and wide to restore confidence in the message that Christ died for our sins. And may the Holy Spirit use it – as he did me – to fill you with a new passion for worshipping God and for sharing the Gospel.
