Publisher's Synopsis
""Calvin And Servetus And The Origin Of The Limited Atonement Doctrine: A Reply To R. R. Atchison"" is a book written by Ahaz Nicholas Alcott in 1880. The book explores the origins of the limited atonement doctrine, which is a theological belief that states that Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross was only intended for a select group of people, known as the elect. Alcott argues that this doctrine can be traced back to the teachings of John Calvin and his treatment of Michael Servetus, a Spanish theologian who was burned at the stake for his heretical beliefs. Alcott provides a detailed analysis of Calvin's writings and the historical context in which he lived, arguing that Calvin's views on predestination and election led to the development of the limited atonement doctrine. The book is written in a scholarly style and provides a thorough examination of the theological and historical issues surrounding the limited atonement doctrine. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology and the development of Calvinist beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
