Excerpt from The Christian Ethic of War
This book turns on the centrality of a real Atonement for the Christian Revelation of moral Redemption and public Regeneration. The Grace of God in Christ"s Cross is not a forensic device, but the moral focus of the Universe - if all centre in the conscience, and morality is the nature of things. By a real Atonement I mean one not shown but done on the Cross, as the consummation of Christ"s holy personality and its work. I do not aim here at expounding that Atonement, but at working out some of its moral implicates and results on the public and national side - a side on which a Christianity based only on Christ"s teaching has been criticised as defective. An antithesis is discussed between the teaching of Jesus and the work of Christ which is none of my making. Is it necessary to say that the stress I place on the latter is not at the cost of the former, but only against the value given it by some (as others treat the Sacraments) as the thing most precious in the Grand Legacy. None ever spoke like Christ. There are no words so authoritative, so profound, so lovely.
