The Atoning Death of Christ: St. Thomas's Doctrine of Vicarious Satisfaction

The Atoning Death of Christ by John Joy offers a devastating critique of the Protestant theory of atonement known as penal substitution, as well as a concise explication of the teachings of St. Anselm and St. Thomas on the subject of Christ's death. Joy demonstrates that the vicarious satisfaction theory of St. Thomas is established as the most satisfactory answer to the age-old question, "How does the death of Jesus procure our salvation?"
