Christ Crucified: Understanding the Atonement by Donald MacLeodMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great book on the atonement, covering the historical account of the crucifixion and then going into substitution, expiation, propitiation, reconciliation, satisfaction, redemption, and victory. Well written with a passion for the subject. He is not afraid to speak strongly against certain people and ideas. His chapter on "No Other Way" was excellent as he refuted various objections to the substitutionary atonement.
The only drawback was the occasional cheap shot at patriarchy, which naturally goes undefined. Luckily it was a book on the atonement not on patriarchy.
