Book Description

This book is a discussion of redemption and sanctification presented as a "conversation-piece among a few private friends," who are both secular and Christian. Among the five fictitious people there is "Agrippa" who denies the atonement of Christ and "Paulinus" who affirms the atonement. As the Preface states: "The author of these papers has been often grieved to see such a new sort of Christianity published and propagated in the world, as leaves out the propitiatory sacrifice of our blessed Saviour, and the sanctifying operations of the Holy Spirit, which in his esteem are two of the chief glories of the gospel."
