This is a republication of two books previously published separately as "The Atonement" and "The Foot of the Cross". Octavius Winslow, who ministered during the 19th century in England, has seldom been equalled as a writer on the devotional aspects of Christianity. His works are marked by a profound grasp of theology combined with heart-searching application. In this he follows in the line of the Puritans and yet his style is more accessible to the modern reader.

Author Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) was born in London, England, and reared in New York. He was ordained as a pastor in 1833 and held pastorates in New York, Leamington Spa, Bath, and Brighton. A prolific author, his devotional writings exhibit his Reformed, experiential convictions and distinctive, warm, ardent style.
