Of the Death of Christ

A precise and vigorous defense of particular redemption against Richard Baxter's objections. Owen examines the nature of Christ's satisfaction — arguing that he paid the very penalty owed by sinners (*idem*, not merely an equivalent) — and refutes Arminian claims that Christ died equally for all. Engaging Grotius, Davenant, and Baxter with careful theological reasoning, Owen demonstrates that Christ's atonement was purposeful, effectual, and bounded by the sovereign love of God for his elect.
