The Warrior Savior: A Theology of the Work of Christ

“Owen Strachan reminds us of the mystery and unfathomability of the cross as a revelation of God’s justice, love, and victory. Strachan rightly reminds us that we have both penal substitution and Christus Victor in the cross. The writing is powerful, punchy, and gripping, reminding us of the greatest gift of all. ”

“A masterful work on the doctrine of the atonement—one of the most impactful books I have read on the topic. It is a biblical theology of the cross that captures the most epic battle in human history. . . . This excellent study is how theology is meant to be understood and experienced. ”

“Our God has waged war against the forces of evil, and they are no match for his power. Our God has won the victory in the salvation of every one of God’s people. This excellent book is accessible by the average church member and is likewise packed with rich theological depth on the atonement of Jesus Christ. Take up and read. ”

“Strachan does not offer us dry and detached scholarship. He writes with the heart of a pastor-theologian concerned to bring theology to the person in the pew—where theology belongs. The Warrior Savior is a deeply edifying work of theology for those who want to grow deeper in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by studying his atoning work on the cross. ”

“A fascinating read and a compelling study on the atonement. . . . A significant contribution to atonement theology. ”

“Exegetically rich. . . . A robust articulation of both [atonement’s] penal substitutionary nature and its victorious triumph over the domain of darkness. ”

“This is a great resource for believers no matter how long they have walked with the Lord. ”
