<p><em><strong>James Denney</strong></em><strong><em> was a turn-of-the-century Scottish New Testament scholar, pastor, and theologian who wrote</em></strong><strong> <em>The </em></strong><em><strong>Death of Christ</strong></em></p><p><strong>This Classic book &ndash; </strong><strong><em>The </em></strong><em><strong>Death of Christ</strong></em><strong> --&nbsp; introduces and orients the reader to critical biblical/theological thinking from a solid biblical perspective.&nbsp; </strong><em><strong>Denney</strong></em><strong>&rsquo;s presentation is written with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension.&nbsp;You won&rsquo;t be disappointed.</strong></p><p><em><strong>James Denney</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong><strong>is consistently one of the best Bible scholars and this one is at the top of his writing. &nbsp;He&#39;s bold in his writings but solid in Scripture.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>It&rsquo;s impossible to measure the influence of <em>Denney</em> over four centuries. His works remain&nbsp;in print and are&nbsp;widely read, which shouldn&rsquo;t surprise us.&nbsp;Many considers him one of the most outstanding pastor, evangelist, and writer on practical and devotional theology of his age.</strong></p><p><strong>Denney&#39;s greatest contribution to theological literature is in his robust defence of the penal character of the&nbsp;atonement. First expressed in his&nbsp;<em>Studies in Theology</em>, it found its fullest expression in his 1902 work&nbsp;<em>The Death of Christ&nbsp;</em>(</strong><strong>London</strong><strong>, Hodder and </strong><strong>Stoughton</strong><strong>, often reprinted).&nbsp;<em>The Atonement and the Modern Mind</em>. Denney insists that the death of Christ cannot be understood unless it is seen as a death for sin, as Christ bearing the penalty in the place of those he came to save.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
