In God’s mission to have a people that ‘no one could number from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages’, the penal substitution of his Son in our place, receiving in full the punishment of God’s righteous indignation that should have been ours, is absolutely central and critical to the whole enterprise. So this new contribution really does help us rediscover the glory of penal substitution; showing us its biblical foundations, the way that it has been clearly taught by the church for 2000 years and refuting contemporary objections to it. You will find this book a very useful resource, and an important one in contending for this key understanding of what Christ achieved at Calvary.
