"Perspectives on the Extent of the Atonement" presents a point-counterpoint exchange concerning God s intention in sending Christ to die on the cross. All three contributors recognize a substitutionary element in the atoning work of Christ, but disagree over the nature and objects of that substitution.Carl Trueman (Westminster Theological Seminary) argues that Christ s atoning work secured the redemption of his elect alone. While infinite in value, Christ s death was intended for and applied strictly to those whom the Father had elected unconditionally in eternity past.John Hammett (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) argues that Christ s atoning work had multiple intentions. Of these intentions two rise to the fore: (1) the intention to accomplish atonement for God s elect and (2) the intention to provide atonement for all mankind.Grant Osborne (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) argues that Christ s atoning work provided atonement generally for all mankind. The application of that atoning work is conditioned, however, on each person s willingness to receive it."
