First published in 1931. Aulen identifies three main types of Atonement theories: the 'classic' view commonly known as 'Ransom Theory'; the 'Latin' or 'objective' view, commonly known as 'Satisfaction' or 'Penal Substitution Theory', and the 'subjective' view, often known as the 'Moral Influence' theory.

Four earlier editions of this book have already appeared. The second edition, 1924, a year after the first, did not show any great changes; but the third edition, 1931, contained many additions and revisions. The fourth edition, 1943 (from which the first English edition was translated) also contained some changes, but the work of revision was not as extensive and complete as I would have desired. This edition appeared at a time when the duties of the episcopal office, other official functions, and work in connection with the war situation left only a limited time that could be devoted to the work. In the present fifth edition the following chapters have been entirely rewritten: 7, 8, 39, 45, and 50. Chapters 3, 11, 20, 21, 27, 41, 42, 43, and 44 have been largely reworked. In other chapters extensive additions, deletions, and revisions have been made. A book of this kind is never finished. The gospel, the Christian message, and therefore the Christian faith as such, are indeed unchangeable. But the task of interpreting the Christian faith in the contemporary situation presents ever new problems to theology. All such attempts necessarily bear the marks of imperfection and incompletion. I am very well aware of the shortcomings of my presentation. At the same time I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to make a new attempt at improvement. The changes which have been made have to some extent indeed been occasioned by contact with modern theological research, which has gained new insights and sound new approaches to the old problems. But my intention has always been to develop more clearly, both in content and terminology, those fundamental motifs which have characterized my presentation of the meaning of the Christian faith. Lund, December, 1956

This paperback reprinting of Gustaf Aulen's great textbook of systematic theology should be a welcome delight to the Christian theologian. The reputation if this second English edition, based on the fifth and most extensively revised Swedish edition, has steadily increased over the years as a clear and sound guide to the substance of the Christian faith. Besides treating the whole compass of traditional themes associated with the doctrines of God, Christ, and the church, Aulen in this edition has provided new chapters on the Communion of Saints and on the relation between scripture and tradition. The chapters on the biblical validation of the content of faith, the doctrine of the Lord's Supper, and the unity of the church and the disunity of the churches were rewritten. The statements on the relation between the two testaments, creation and redemption, natural law, the resurrection, the validity of infant baptism, and eschatology were substantially revised. Aulen's keen analysis and clear presentation of the fundamental motifs of the Christian faith, his sharp demarcation of these motifs from their aberrations in the history of Christian thought and in contemporary theology, and especially his profound sense of the oneness of the church's faith have endeared this book to students, theologians, clergymen, and hosts of intelligent and inquiring laity of every denomination.
