Redemption Redeemed: A Puritan Defense of Unlimited Atonement, Expanded Edition

Rating:
Summary: Puritan Arminian Theologian Examines The Atonement
Review: John Goodwin is one of the few Puritans that actually ascribe to Arminism and produced theological works backing his position. Obviously Goodwin was in the minority in the Puritan tradition as most Puritans were raised, taught, and believe in what they defined as "pure Christianity" or Calvinism. Goodwin, much like Jacob Arminius and John Wesley, broke with tradition and actually opposed the majority of theologians, books, and Puritan pulpits in his day.

This book examines the bibilical case for unlimited atonement. Goodwin believed that the atonement of Jesus Christ was for all of humainity and not simply for the elect. In this masterful work, Goodwin sets out to prove his position and does so in the spirit of Puritanism. He is clear, consise, and fills the pages of this book with Scripture. He appeals to God's Word as the final authority for faith and practice and in the end he presents a strong case for unlimited atonement. His work should line up well with Puritan John Owens classic work, THE DEATH OF DEATH IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST (published by Banner of Trust).
