The Atonement in Modern Evangelical Thought

The evangelical, Reformed student of church history and church heresy is confronted with many mixed-up views of the Atonement on dealing with the Liberal scene where Arian and Socinian views often dominate their studies. The surprise usually comes when they find that many of the rationalistic views of the Atonement nowadays come from evangelical, Reformed quarters and now are promoted as 'Calvinism'. However, the Calvinist section has always insisted, until the days of Fuller at least, on a particular atonement, on the invincible work of the Spirit in turning man from damnation to salvation and on the fact that Christ's atonement was not in vain and those whom He aimed to save are saved. The faulty theory of the Atonement which underlined the entire reasoning of Wesley, but to a greater extent Fuller, Gay and Murray emerged in the Dark Ages of Rome when Biblical doctrine, in God's Providence, lost control of the churches and Scholastic scepticism and speculation took hold of the imagination of church leaders who were unspiritual men.
