The Atoning Life (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Atoning Life This little book has some faults whereof its author is keenly aware, and others that he cannot know. But the reader is asked to remember that it does not set out to become a chapter in systematic theology. Its aim is to make clear the lines of approach to the Atonement. One of the pressing needs of minister and layman alike is a vital theology that springs from life and, returning quickly to the life out of Which it sprang, gives form and clarity to experience. The hope that this little book may help some of his brethren toward that goal gives the author the courage to publish it.

Henry Sylvester Nash
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated at Harvard in the class of 1878, and at the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, Massachussets, in the class of 1881.
Career
He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Benjamin H. Paddock of Massachusetts, June 1, 1882, and at once became instructor in Biblical study and church polity in the Episcopal Theological School, being appointed later professor of literature and interpretation of the New Testament.
Believing that a student should have practical experience in parochial work, he served for a time as assistant at Christ Church, Waltham.
He was a preacher of rare power and originality and all his life was in frequent demand as a special preacher and lecturer, particularly in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York.
In addition to his teaching and preaching, he found time for much writing. The first of his published works was Genesis of the Social Conscience (1897), originally prepared and delivered as the Lowell Lectures, Boston. This was followed by Ethics and Revelation (1899), The History of the Higher Criticism of the New Testament (1900), The Belief in Democracy and Justification by Faith (1903 - 04), and The Atoning Life (1908). His articles include "The Exegesis of the School of Antioch", "The Nature and Definition of Religion".
His Genesis of the Social Conscience was a book of much significance in its generalization and originality of statement, and discloses an intense interest in humanity. The supreme need, as he saw it, was "to get the world personalized. "
His spiritual nature expressed itself in beautiful devotional utterances which are preserved in Prayers and Meditations (1915).
