Propitiatory Sacrifice And The Sacrifice Of Christ: According To Scripture And Catholic Antiquity (1864) is a book written by Charles Adam John Smith that explores the concept of sacrifice in Christianity. The book delves into the idea of propitiatory sacrifice, which is the act of offering a sacrifice to appease or satisfy a deity. Smith examines this concept in both the Old and New Testaments, as well as in Catholic tradition.The book also focuses on the sacrifice of Christ, which is central to Christian theology. Smith looks at how this sacrifice is understood in Catholic tradition and how it relates to the concept of propitiation. He argues that the sacrifice of Christ is the ultimate propitiatory sacrifice, and that it is through this sacrifice that humans are reconciled with God.Throughout the book, Smith draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, the writings of early Church Fathers, and Catholic tradition. He provides a detailed analysis of these sources and their significance in understanding the concept of sacrifice in Christianity.Propitiatory Sacrifice And The Sacrifice Of Christ: According To Scripture And Catholic Antiquity is a thorough and scholarly exploration of an important aspect of Christian theology. It will be of interest to scholars of religion and theology, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the role of sacrifice in Christianity.With An Appendix On The Scheme Of Mr. Birks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
