It Is Well : Expositions on Substitutionary Atonement

Mark Dever and Michael Lawrence offer fourteen pastoralexpositions on the atonement, demonstrating its importance and richapplication for the church and Christian life.The idea of Christ's substitutionary atonement for sinners iscentral in both the Old and New Testaments-from the Passoverto the prophets to the words of Jesus and the apostles. In ItIs Well , pastors Mark Dever and Michael Lawrence demonstratehow the atonement is clearly taught throughout Scripture.Starting with Exodus 12 and moving through other key OldTestament passages into the Gospels and the epistles of Paul andPeter, the authors offer careful expositions on fourteen crucialtexts. As they speak to important issues such as what happens whenthere is no substitute for sin, why God forsook Christ, Jesus'perspective on his substitutionary work, and the necessity andbenefits of the atonement, they show how much the doctrine appliesto the Christian life.It Is Well not only encourages pastors to preach thisessential doctrine for the strengthening of the church, but ithelps individual believers understand and exult in the richness ofGod's love in Christ.
