Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible Doctrine of Atonement: Six Lectures Given in Westminster Abbey The lectures in this volume were delivered in Westminster Abbey during the Lent of 1906, on the foundation of Dame Joan Upton; who by her will dated Nov. 13, 1710, bequeathed a sum of 150 "to be invested, and the annual income thereof to be paid to five learned and orthodox divines of the Church of England, selected by the Dean, Sub-Dean, and Archdeacon of Westminster, for five sermons to be preached in the Collegiate Church of St. Peter on five Fridays in Lent for ever." The practice in recent years has been for a member of the Chapter to give the sermons, and to preach six instead of five; but on the present occasion, as the lecturer was anxious to leave London at the conclusion of his period of residence, he satisfied the requirement of the trust by preaching five sermons; and at the same time complied with the present custom of having a sermon on each of the six Fridays in Lent, by reviving the permission to nominate a "learned and orthodox divine" from outside the collegiate body. Professor Nairne accepted the invitation to conclude the course of lectures by taking for his subject the teaching about Atonement in the Epistle to the Hebrews. It may be well to repeat the announcement made in the writer's previous volume of Westminster Lectures, that their purpose being catechetical and not critical, it has not been thought necessary to refer to authorities or to give reasons for preferring one interpretation to another on points which are in dispute. The lecturers have expressed their own views and convictions with a full sense of responsibility, and with a firm faith that a more thorough understanding of the doctrine of Holy Scripture on this most vital of all questions will unite believers more closely in their adherence to the Catholic faith, and recover many who from misconception have withdrawn themselves from the Christian fellowship.
