Drawing on the classic teaching of the atonement as it is presented by St. Paul and other Christian thinkers, Paul Zahl unfolds its meaning for this generation. He then applies it to the problems of spiritual malaise and meaninglessness, which afflict us today: problems of depression and despair, of loneliness, and of broken relationships. Throughout, the Good News of Christianity--forgiveness, reconciliation, new life--is presented in terms that contemporary readers can easily understand and apply to their lives. \"\"A brave and honest book. . . . An unusual combination of pastoral compassion and theological integrity.\"\" --John R. W. Stott, author of Basic Christianity \"\"Zahl knows the authentic gospel and the twentieth century human heart, and probes deeply into both,\"\" --J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God and Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God \"\"In Who Will Deliver Us? Paul Zahl delivers a finely tuned theological appeal to the mind and, perhaps more importantly, a powerful shot to the heart. With his usual mastery, . . . Zahl applies the atoning word of the cross to the hidden yet harrowing places of fear, anger, and depression in our lives. This short and accessible book is for everybody who needs to be delivered. In other words, it is for everybody.\"\" --Paul N. Walker, Rector, Christ Episcopal Church, Charlottesville, Virginia Paul F. M. Zahl is Rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Chevy Chase, Maryland (Washington DC). He has written ten books, including Grace in Practice (2007) and 2000 Years of Amazing Grace (2007).
