| Summary: | "In this book Stephen Holmes offers a readable and authoritative account of the way in which the saving work of Jesus is presented in the Bible, and has been understood throughout Christian history. In particular, the book offers background to the current debates by looking at the idea of penal substitution in biblical and historical perspective. Holmes argues that we can, and should, continue to talk of the cross in penal substitutionary terms but that we also need to understand this model as one of many complimentary descriptions of the salvation we find in Christ."--BOOK JACKET.
