Hey guys,
As I've been looking into pre-reformation solid theologians, especially Anselm, I've realised that there a few views of the atonement which don't fit entirely with the Penal Substitutionary version of the atonement, which is how I understood it (such as the Satisfaction, Substitution and governmental views). Is there a book that that discusses the differences and nuances of these different positions (the ones running in the more reformed stream), and why Penal is the correct one (I think I understand that, but I'd like to get firmly grounded on this). I'd already heard of these positions, but I hadn't really given them much notice until now.
Also, if anyone has a good recommendation for a book dedicated to the defence of Penal Substitutionary Atonement, that'd really be helpful!
Thanks!
