The Atonement is a theological book written by Loraine Boettner that explores the concept of atonement in Christianity. The book presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the doctrine of atonement, which is the belief that Jesus Christ's death on the cross reconciles humanity with God. Boettner examines the various theories of atonement, including penal substitution, moral influence, and governmental theories, and argues that the penal substitution theory is the most biblically accurate and logically consistent. He also addresses common objections to the doctrine of atonement and provides a defense of its necessity and significance for Christian faith. The Atonement is a scholarly work that is intended for theologians, pastors, and students of theology who are interested in a thorough and rigorous examination of the central doctrine of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, written by Loraine Boettner, is a theological treatise that explores the concept of predestination from a Reformed perspective. Boettner argues that predestination is a biblical doctrine that is central to the Christian faith, and he provides a thorough analysis of the biblical passages that support this view.Boettner examines the historical development of the doctrine of predestination, tracing its roots back to Augustine and Calvin. He then presents a detailed explanation of the Reformed understanding of predestination, which holds that God has chosen certain individuals for salvation and others for damnation based solely on his sovereign will.The book also addresses objections to the doctrine of predestination, including the charge that it is unfair or that it undermines human free will. Boettner responds to these objections by showing that predestination is consistent with both God's justice and human responsibility.Overall, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination is a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of a controversial theological topic that continues to be debated by Christians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Calvinistic system especially emphasizes five distinct doctrines. These are technically known as "The Five Points of Calvinism," and they are the main pillars upon which the superstructure rests. In this section we shall examine each of these, giving the Scripture basis and the arguments from reason which support them. We shall then consider the objections which are commonly brought against them. As will be shown, the Bible contains an abundance of material for the development of each of these doctrines. Furthermore, these are not isolated and independent doctrines but are so inter-related that they form a simple, harmonious, self-consistent system; and the way in which they fit together as component parts of a well-ordered whole has won the admiration of thinking men of all creeds. Prove any one of them true and all the others will follow as logical and necessary parts of the system. Prove any one of them false and the whole system must be abandoned. They are found to dovetail perfectly one into the other. They are so many links in the great chain of causes, and not one of them can be taken away without marring and subverting the whole Gospel plan of salvation through Christ. We cannot conceive of this agreement arising merely by accident, nor even being possible, unless these doctrines are true. (From The Introduction)
WIth the growth of so called "faith healers" and other supposed miraculous occurences by Catholic and Protestant alike Loriane Boettner shows from Scripture what constitutes a genuine miracle versus a fraud.
The purpose of this book is not to set forth a new system of theological thought, but to give a re-statement to that great system which is known as the Reformed Faith or Calvinism, and to show that this is beyond all doubt the teaching of the Bible and of reason. The doctrine of Predestination receives comparatively little attention in our day and it is very imperfectly understood even by those who are supposed to hold it most loyally. It is a doctrine, however, which is contained in the creeds of most evangelical churches and which has had a remarkable influence both in Church and State. Among the past and present advocates of this doctrine are to be found some of the world's greatest and wisest men. It was taught not only by Calvin, but by Luther, Zwingli, Melanchthon (although Melanchthon later retreated toward the Semi-Pelagian position), by Bullinger, Bucer, and all of the outstanding leaders in the Reformation. While differing on some other points they agreed on this doctrine of Predestination and taught it with emphasis. The great theologians of history, Augustine, Wycliffe, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Zanchius, Owen, Whitefield, Toplady, and in more recent times Hodge, Dabney, Cunningham, Smith, Shedd, Warfield, and Kuyper, held this doctrine and taught it with force. The book is sent forth with the hope that those who profess to hold the Reformed Faith may have a better understanding of the great truths which are here treated and may value their heritage more highly; and that those who have not known this system, or who have opposed it, may be convinced of its truth and come to love it. The question which faces us then, is, Has God from all eternity foreordained all things which come to pass? If so, what evidence do we have to that effect. and how is the fact consistent with the free agency of rational creatures and with His own perfections?
The Reformed doctrine of predestination has been coming under fire a lot in recent days especially among open theists that question God's sovereignty in the face of evil. Although this book was written many years ago, it still helps to shed light on the true roots of the doctrine and the philosophical and Biblical answers it offers. The doctrine deserves a proper treatment and this work is an attempt at that justification and a look at its history.
