Reviews for Patristic and Medieval Atonement Theory: A Guide to Research (Illuminations: Guides to Research in Religion)
Johnson's project is ambitious, and his methodology commendable.... I expect that anybody with an interest in Christian theology will be enthusiastic about Junius Johnson's promising new title, especially those who consider the patristic and medieval periods as the essential starting place for understanding the development of the Christian doctrine of atonement.
