"The Atonement, as taught by the Church of England: A Sermon by Edward Hoare" is a theological discourse delivered in the late 19th century, specifically in 1849. This publication presents a sermon that explores the concept of atonement from the perspective of the Church of England, emphasizing its foundational role in the Christian faith. The book seeks to clarify the nature, purpose, and implications of atonement as defined within the Anglican tradition, particularly in contrast to Roman Catholic teachings. In his sermon, Edward Hoare articulates several key points regarding the atonement of Jesus Christ. He asserts that atonement serves to reconcile humanity with God by addressing the alienation caused by sin. The work of Jesus is described as a complete and final act, where He bears the curse of sin on behalf of humanity, thereby fulfilling the requirements of God's justice and demonstrating divine love. Hoare highlights that the atonement is not merely a moral lesson but rather an essential sacrificial act that renders any additional human effort for appeasing God's justice unnecessary. The central message of the sermon is that believers can achieve reconciliation, peace, and acceptance through faith in Christ's atonement, a theme that aligns with the Church of England's theological stance on grace and justification.
