About This Book

A theological treatise presents a systematic exposition of Christ's mediation and atonement, drawing on Old and New Testament passages, the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Mormon, and later revelations and sermons. It compiles scriptural extracts and historical interpretation to trace sacrificial symbolism, the institution and power of the priesthood, and the relation of the Atonement to resurrection, salvation, and human agency. Chapters examine patriarchal narratives, Mosaic rites, covenant tokens and ordinances, the roles of translated prophets, and the dispensation of the fulness of times, arguing that the Atonement is central to divine justice, mercy, and eternal progression.
