I have read a number of the most cited atonement studies, and I rank this as one of the best. I avoided it for a long time because of the title - fearing it perhaps a blending of modern psychology. But far from it, I found it a wonderful and balanced and inspirational book, not only it the development of atonement ideas, but weaving in a number of other Bible teachings in relation to it.
The book treats both the subjective and objective sides of the purpose in the death of Christ, and brings those together in a moving way. Moberly has very powerful insights into repentance, forgiveness, the Godhead and the personality of the Holy Spirit, human nature and human personality with and without the cross, baptism and the Lord's supper. Several of these are treated in individual chapters, but highly integrated into the message of the book.
There is a very valuable chapter on the history of atonement ideas, as they relate to the author's, and one on modern churches and their failure to realize the power of the atonement, and to uphold it.
If you have wrestled, as I have, with atonement theories and assumptions, but have trouble reconciling the different ideas with the Bible or your concept of God, read this book. It will lift you immeasurably.
