Additional Details

first edition. "The book was written to defend the doctrine of atonement against the Socinians, and to refute the idea that Christ's death was merely an example of piety. It is a discussion of Hebrew sacrifices and their meanings, buttressed with patristic and rabbinical references, and concludes with a discussion of Christ's heavenly intercession" (ODNB). Wing O-601.
