Not so much a defence of the doctrine of penal substitution, this book is more a magnificent counter-attack, lifting the siege against it. The authors’ comprehensive survey of the evidence successfully calls the bluff of those whose aim is to airbrush the true nature of the atonement from the Bible and church history. Brilliant, passionate and unapologetic, such a response almost makes one grateful for the errorists.
