Currently reading: An Introduction to F.D.Maurice’s Theology by W. Merlin Davies 📚
In asserting the doctrine of the Atonement, we assert redemption, liberty for man-kind, union with God, union with each other. We denounce the denial of that doctrine, because we say that to deny it is to take away from man that which in all ages he has been sighing for,-communion with God, communion with his fellows. When we assert the doctrine of the Trinity, we do so, because we believe it to be the grand foundation of all society, the only ground of universal fellowship, the only idea of a God of love.
