( ) A seamless overview of its topic. Part of the reason I loved it was because it didn't just draw from the usual citation suspects. An obvious lover of poetry, Callister pulls from the classics for phrases and analogies. Obviously a product of careful thought and study. A beautiful collection of thoughts. I felt very humbled as I felt some small increase in my understanding of the meaning of the atonement. Although it really wasn't, it seemed like wall-to-wall scripture citations, and I feel peace when reading it. In the middle of the book there was something about eternity comparing it to peeling away curtains I found that very interesting and want to find that statement again. The atonement applies not just to sins but also to our weaknesses and our mistakes. I especially liked Chapter 15:Infinite in Love. I also quite liked Chapter 26. To give a picture of the breadth of the book, here are the chapter titles. Chapter 1: What Is the Significance of the Atonement? Chapter 2: Why Study the Atonement? Chapter 3: Can We Fully Comprehend the Atonement? Chapter 4: What Are the Purposes of the Atonement? Chapter 5: The Fall of Adam Chapter 6: The Relationship between the Fall and the Atonement Chapter 7: The Consequences If There Had Been No Atonement Chapter 8:The Infinite Nature of the Atonement Chapter 9: Infinite In Divineness of the Chosen One Chapter 10: Infinite in Power Chapter 11: Infinite in Time Chapter 12: Infinite in Coverage Chapter 13: Infinite in Depth Chapter 14: Infinite in Suffering Chapter 15: Infinite in Love Chapter 16: The Blessing Of the Resurrection Chapter 17: The Blessing of Repentance Chapter 18: The Blessing of Peace of Mind Chapter 19: The Blessing of Succor Chapter 20: The Blessing of Motivation Chapter 21: The Blessing of Exaltation Chapter 22 The Blessing of Freedom Chapter 23: The Blessing of Grace Chapter 24: How Do the Ordinances Relates to the Atonement? Chapter 25: How Do Justice and Mercy Relate to the Atonement? Chapter 26: Was the Atonement Necessary or Was There Another Way? Chapter 27: Appreciation for the Atonement Bibliography Index From the Foreword: “Truth, glorious truth, proclaims there is such a Mediator. …Through Him mercy can be fully extended to each of us without offending the eternal law of justice.” “This truth is the very root of Christian doctrine. You may know much about the gospel as it branches out from there, but if you only know the branches and those branches do not touch that root, if they have been cut free from that truth, there will be no life nor substance nor redemption in them.” (Conference Report, April 1977, Page 80). 7/8/2020 review Such a great resource to help expand your understanding of the atonement. Different things stuck out to me the second time through—what you get out of the book depends on what you put into it. Worth it. 10/6/2016 review, 5 stars I took my time with this book, which really paid off. It helped me understand the atonement in a deeper, more personal way than I ever have. I'm certain I'll reread this semi-regularly, because there's so much to get out of it. I didn't care for all the literary references, though—they felt out of place—but overall this is a great book. A must read. This book more clearly unfolds the meaning and power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ than any other earthly book. In loving and careful detail, Callister humbly approaches this daunting topic from many different perspectives. He discusses the pre-mortal, mortal, post-mortal and eternal aspects of Christ's mission, never strays into speculation and remains always on the firm ground of revealed truth. Apart from the scriptures, I have never read a book that better conveys the depth of His unmatchable sacrifice. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: No doctrine is more central to the message of the restored gospel or to our individual happiness than the infinite and eternal Atonement of Jesus Christ. In this clearly written and powerfully moving book, Tad Callister focuses on the infinite power, coverage, and depth of the Atonement, and how the most profound blessings of the gospel are eternally linked to it. The Savior experienced infinite suffering as he brought the Atonement to pass, but because of the Atonement we are capable of experiencing the blessings of the resurrection and exaltation, of repentance, of freedom, of peace of mind, and of the healing of the Savior's infinite love. The Infinite Atonement is an outstanding book that can be read from cover to cover or used as a reference to study selected aspects of the Atonement. It is destined to become a classic. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
