Defending Substitution
An Essay on Atonement in Paul
Book • 2015
In this concise and lucid book, Simon Gathercole argues for the validity of substitution as an aspect of the atonement in Paul's writings.
He examines key passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:3 and Romans 5:6–8, providing a careful exegetical defense of substitutionary atonement.
Gathercole distinguishes between substitution and penal substitution, showing that substitution is a broader category and does not necessarily entail punishment.
The book is both a response to contemporary scholarly objections and a constructive presentation of Paul's theology.
