In this stirring systematic theology of atonement, Owen Strachan turns our gaze to the biblical Jesus--the greater David, a mighty king who comes in the power of God to save sinners and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). The true Jesus is the most fascinating subject in all history: he is Lamb and Lion, gentle and ferocious, divine yet a humble servant. All these graces bear down on one moment in time: the cross. The Warrior Savior brings together strands of doctrine that are too often separated, notably penal substitutionary atonement and Christus Victor. Instead of arguing for an unweighted blend of "models" or "theories" of the cross, Strachan argues that the cross accomplishes a propitiatory atonement, which in turn secures the defeat of the dread foe of God's people, Satan. Throughout the book, he weaves in rich devotional and spiritual commentary, focusing on the love of God as the chief message of the cross of Christ. The result is a vivid, dramatic, and inspiring study of the most important salvific event ever to occur.

“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. ”

“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. ”
