The Nature of the Atonement The Nature of the Atonement Author(s): Campbell, John McLeod (1800-1872) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: James B.Torrance©s introduction to The Nature of Atonement states that "...we look away from ourselves to what we are in the loving heart of the Father and what we are by the grace in the gift of Christ the Son, through the spirit of adoption." Torrance believes, "No Scottish theologian saw this more clearly than John McLeod Campbell, who ... throughout all his writings was so passionately concerned to call the Church back to the Triune God of grace...." Although the long sen- tences and difficult language can be a challenge to readers, experts agree that this book perceptively addresses the theological tension between judgment and atonement. This is an excellent read for those seeking insights into this topic of atonement. -KTV i Contents Title Page 1 Contents. 2 CHAPTER I. 5 CHAPTER II. 22 CHAPTER III. 32 CHAPTER IV. 46 CHAPTER V. 68 CHAPTER VI. 77 CHAPTER VII. 89 CHAPTER VII. 112 CHAPTER IX. 132 CHAPTER X. 139 CHAPTER XI. 146 CHAPTER XII. 157 CHAPTER XIII. 170 CHAPTER XIV. 181 CHAPTER XV. 192 CHAPTER XVI. 213 LIST OF BOOKS QUOTED 220 Indexes 221 Index of Pages of the Print Edition 222 ii This PDF file is from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library, www.ccel.org.

THE ENDS CONTEMPLATED IN THE ATONEMENT AWAKEN THE EXPECTA- TION THAT WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND ITS NATURE. THE fundamental place which the atonement occupies in Christianity, gives importance to every aspect in which it can be contemplated. Of these aspects the chief are, its reference, its object, and its nature. For whom was it made? what was it intended to accomplish? what has it been in itself? These are distinct questions, though the discussion of any one of them has generally more or less involved that of the other two. Certainly to be in possession of the true answer to any one of them must be a help in seeking the answers of the others; as also a misconcep- tion as to the answer of one must tend to mislead us in our consideration of the others. This is true, whichever aspect of the subject we may regard as the most important, or as having in it most light. The question between the Reformers and the Church of Rome--the question of justific- ation by faith alone--was most closely connected with the second aspect of the atonement, viz. what it has accomplished. The discussions which subsequently divided the Reformers among themselves turned on the first; being as to whether the atonement had been made for all men, or for an election only. Much recent advocacy of the atonement has dealt freely with the third point, i.e., what the atonement is in itself, as to which there was no question raised in the earlier discussions, but as to which it has been latterly felt, that the other questions could not be rightly taken up until this one was more closely considered; and as to which the advocates of the universality of the atonement have begun to feel, that the re- 2 ceived conceptions of its nature have given to the advocates of an atonement referring to an election only, an advantage in argument which a true apprehension of what the atonement has been would do away with. It is this third aspect of the atonement--i. e., its nature--that I now propose to consider; which I propose to do with more immediate reference to the second aspect of the atonement, viz. what it has accomplished--i. e., its relation to the remission of sins, and the gift of eternal life. The first point, viz., the extent of the reference of the atonement, it is no part of my immediate purpose to discuss. I believe that the atonement has been an atonement for sin, having reference to all mankind; I believe this to be distinctly revealed; I believe it to be also implied in what the atonement is in itself. But it is the illustration of the nature of the atonement which I have immediately in view; for it is in the prevailing state of men's minds on this subject that I feel a call to write. 5 CHAPTER I. I have just noticed that the exigencies of controversy, and the natural desire to give a philosophical harmony to theological system, has recently led to a reconsideration of the subject of the nature of the atonement. I shall subsequently have occasion to notice particu- larly what the result has been; and why, I am not satisfied with that result: which had I been, I should gladly have felt this volume superseded. But the intellectual exigencies of systems are, if real, closely connected with the spiritual exigencies of the living man; and something higher than an intellectual demand, though that is not to be slighted as if it were not of God also, is felt to call for light on the nature of the atonement, when previously received concep- tions no longer satisfy conscience, developed, and spiritually enlightened. The internal 3 evidence of Christianity all prize, and anything felt to be a real addition to it all must welcome, though the freedom with which men seek such increase in the internal light of the gospel, is various. Some, indeed, may give too much ground for the charge of intellectual arrogance, in the demand they make for internal evidence at every step; while others, while thankfiilly receiving such evidence, fall into the error of treating it as something over and above what was needed for faith. I believe the former little realise how much more they believe than they understand; and I believe the latter as little realise how much their reception of what they believe depends ultimately upon what of it they do understand, and spiritually discern to be to the glory of God. I am not now to write on the nature of the atonement as one whose first faith in the atonement rested on a clear understanding of its nature; and yet I do not look back on that first faith as unwarranted and unreal. Our first faith may have in it elements which are true and abiding, although mingled with much darkness, which, in the low un- developed condition of conscience, causes us no pain or uneasiness.

    Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.

As an introduction to our study, we outline certain elements in Campbell’s youth and especially in the early years of his ministry at Row which were formative in his later development. His relationship with his father, made more intimate by the premature death of his mother, was a determining factor in his life as was the spirit of independence and zealous resolution which characterised his work at Row.

  • Chalmers and Calvinism in 19Th Century Scotland
    CALVIN REDISCOVERED: New Zealand and International Perspectives Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership, August 23rd-25th, 2009. Thomas Chalmers and Scottish Calvinism in the 19th century John Roxborogh Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847)1 taught theology in Edinburgh from 1829 and was the first moderator of the Free Church of Scotland founded at the Disruption of 1843 when a third of the ministers and people left the Church of Scotland after a bitter ten year battle over the spiritual independence of the established church and the right of congregations to veto nominations to pulpits. A liberal evangelical famous for his parish experiment at St John’s in Glasgow from 1819 and the most celebrated preacher in Britain, Chalmers was a strong supporter of home and overseas missions and reinvigorated the ministry of elders, deacons and Sunday School teachers. His vision of a Godly commonwealth and a united mission inspired students who took his ideas around the world, including to New Zealand, where Port Chalmers is named after him. His attitude towards the Calvinism of his day, particularly as his theology developed after his conversion in 1811, is a window into a changing complex of Scottish ideas and traits which may be traced directly and indirectly to the Swiss reformer. Chalmers had some notable similarities to Calvin. Both were converted after a period seeking fame through academic publications and both came to live by their preaching and their writing. Chalmers too, no doubt modelled on Calvin, produced an Institutes of Christian Theology.2 Commentaries, correspondence and pastoral concern were features of both their ministries.

  • Donald Macleod Dr T. F. Torrance and Scottish Theology: a Review Article
    EQ 72:1 (2000),57-72 Donald Macleod Dr T. F. Torrance and Scottish Theology: a Review Article The Professur of Systematic Theology in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, offers a detailed examination of Thomas F. Torrance, Scottish Theology from John Knox to John McLeod Campbell (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1996. xii + 33Dpp. hb. ISBN 0-567-08532-5) and raises some questions regarding his depiction of Scottish Calvinism. Keywords: Theology; Scottish theology; T. F. Torrance; Calvinism. Dr Torrance's recent book is no mere historical sUIvey, dispassionately reviewing the story oftheology in Scotland. It is a highly personal state­ ment in which the author casts some theologians as heroes and others as villains. Many of his criteria command instant respect: stress on the trinitar­ ian nature of God, the centrality of the incarnation, the primacy of grace and the urgency of evangelism. Other emphases, however, are less securely based, particularly the almost paranoid aversion to lim­ ited atonement, the profound distaste for federal Theology, the stress on incarnational redemption and the partiality to the idea that Christ's human nature was fallen. These are the distinctives of Dr Torrance's own theology (which is not the same as saying that they are its heart) and the book is at its weakest when it claims the support of such men as Knox, Bruce, Binning, Leighton and Boston for these distinctives. As an inevitable corollary to this, Torrance argues that Calvinism (especially Scottish Calvinism) represented a radical breach with Calvin himself. Indeed, he can scarcely speak of Calvinism without attaching to it some opprobious epithet.

    In Search of the Romantic Christ: The Origins of Edward Irving’s Theology of Incarnation. Nicholas John Cuthbert Tucker Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington February 2018 28 February 2018 I, Nicholas John Cuthbert Tucker, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. i Acknowledgements The initial impetus for this thesis came from a conversation with the Revd Dr. Michael Ovey (1958-2017). I am deeply grateful for his many encouragements and insights along the way, and it is a great sadness to me that Mike did not live to see the completion of this work, which is dedicated to his memory. My wife, Sam, has been a source of unfailing encouragement at all times, especially when the going has been hard. It would be hard to overstate how grateful I am to her for the patience and kindness she has shown me in the protracted gestation of this project. I am also indebted in every way to, Joanna and John Tucker, my mother and father, who also kindly agreed to offer comments on an earlier version of this study. Thanks are also due to my former colleagues at Oak Hill College for their support, and especially to Anne Andrews who kindly read through a draft of this thesis. The congregation of St Bartholomew in Edgbaston have been very kind in sharing their vicar with this work for the last two years, and I wish to thank the churchwardens: Guy Hordern and Joe Jordan, for pressing me to put some pastoral duties aside in this last month of study.

  • A Necessary Suffering?: John Mcleod Campbell and the Passion of Christ
    T A Necessary Suffering?: John McLeod Campbell and the Passion of Christ Paul T. Nimmo Introduction T In 1856, John McLeod Campbell published his magnum opus, The Nature of the Atonement. The book offered a highly distinctive treatment of the doctrine of the atonement, and has proven to be one of the most influential in the history of the Reformed church, particularly in Scotland. The central tenets of his theory – the universal scope of the atonement and the importance of the assurance of faith – are now so broadly accepted that it is strange to think of them as ever having been considered dangerous and even heretical, as they clearly were at the time of his deposition from the ordained ministry of the Church of Scotland in May 1831. Nevertheless, another aspect of McLeod Campbell’s theory – his treatment of the role of the suffering of Jesus Christ in the atonement – remains a subject of greater theological contention. This paper considers the atonement in the theology of John McLeod Campbell with particular emphasis on this matter of the role of the suffering of Christ. It begins by offering a brief outline of his doctrine of the atonement, before moving to consider in detail the nature and purpose of the sufferings of Christ within it. The paper proceeds in a final section to consider potential weaknesses of McLeod Campbell’s theory in this connection under three headings: the purpose of the sufferings of Christ, the cause of the cry of dereliction, and the logical ordering of the atonement.
