Jesus and his sacrifice

The author deals with a single topic, the interpretation of the Passion. The work falls into three parts: Part I deals with a number of the leading conceptions involved -- Kingdom of God, Son of Man, Servant of Yahweh, sacrifice and the like. Part II is concerned with the Passion-sayings in the Gospels. In Part III the implications of the sayings are drawn out, and the attempt is made to outline a doctrine of the Atonement based on this Gospel material. [Book jacket].
