This is the companion volume to Symington's classic Messiah the Prince.

In part one, we find an extensive work comparing differing views regarding the nature, necessity, matter, value, extent, and result of the atonement.

Part two deals with the reality, nature, matter, properties and results of the intercessory work of Encouraging and precise.

"The reappearance of this book by the Covenanter and social reformer, William Symington -- south-west Scotland's most important theologian of the nineteenth century -- is a cause for great rejoicing. Focusing almost exclusively on the 'passive' obedience of Christ, Symington's treatment of the atonement is not complete; but few finer accounts of this aspect of the work of Christ exist. Characterized by exegetical insight and rhetorical passion, it deserve to be placed along side similar treatments by Hugh Martin and George Smeaton," writes Derek Thomas (Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson Mississippi).
