Kent from Theology Forum has posted a review of Alan Spence's book The Promise of Peace (US edition):
"The clarity of Spence’s prose and the succinctness of his arguments clearly make this a welcome addition, yet, its brevity (126 pages) leaves some questions unanswered. (...)
Quibbling aside, by expounding the contours of the atonement Spence provides a lucidly written and carefully argued work that demonstrates both scholarly acumen and pastoral sensitivity. In his own words, Promise of Peace represents “an unfinished commentary” on the story of God’s reconciling actions (118) and considering the magnitude of God’s reconciling work in Christ “an unfinished commentary” is a worthy achievement for any theological effort on the subject."
