An important anthology that reaffirms the classic doctrine ofsubstitutionary atonement and counters the ongoing attacks againstit.

If ever there was a time and a need for an enthusiasticreaffirmation of the biblical doctrine of substitutionaryatonement, it is now. With this foundatio! nal tenet under widespreadattack, J. I. Packer and Mark Dever's anthology plays an importantrole, issuing a clarion call to readers to stand firm in thetruth.

In My Place Condemned He Stood combines threeclassic articles by Packer-"The Heart of the Gospel"; his TyndaleBiblical Theology Lecture, "What Did the Cross Achieve"; and hisintroductory essay to John Owen's The Death of Death in theDeath of Christ-with Dever's recent article, "Nothing butthe Blood." It also features a foreword by the four principals ofTogether for the Gospel: Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney, and AlMohler. Thoughtful readers looking for a compact classic on thisincreasingly controversial doctrine need look no farther than thispenetrating volume.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a celebrated French novelist, poet, playwright, dramatist, essayist and statesman whose work ushered in the Romantic literary movement in France, one of the most influential movements in French ! and all European literary history. Like many of his time, Hugo! promote d the virtues of liberty, individualism, spirit and nature in rebellion of the conservative political and religious establishments of Imperial France, and eventually became known as one of the most gifted and influential writers of his time. "The Last Day of a Condemned Man" is one of Hugo's first mature works of fiction, written in 1829, and recounts the thoughts of a condemned man as he prepares for death. The short novel would later have profound influence on writers like Albert Camus, Charles Dickens and Fyodor Dostoevsky. "Claude Gueux" is a short story, written in 1834. It contains Hugo's early thoughts on society injustice, which would be refined and fleshed out over the course of a few decades, resulting in the publication of "Les Misérables" in 1862.

A man vilified by society and condemned to death for his crime wakes every morning knowing that this day might be his last. Graphically detailed, this first-person chronicle desc! ribes both the prisoner’s wretched environment and his thoughts, reminiscences, and despair at his impending doom. This edition also includes the companion pieces Â"A Comedy about a Tragedy” and Â"Claude Gueux,” a real-life account of an executed criminal in France.

CONDEMNED AS A NIHILIST.
CHAPTER L
A GREAT CHANGE.
ALF a dozen boys were gathered in one of the studies at Shrewsb! ury. A packed portmanteau and the general state of litter on the floor was sufficient to show that it was the last day of term.
" Well, I am awfully sorry you are going, Sullen ; we shall all miss you. You would certainly have been in the football team next term; it is a nuisance altogether."
"It is a nuisance; and I am beastly sorry I am leaving. Of course I have known for some time that I should be going out to Russia; but I did not think the governor would have sent me until after I had gone through the school. His letter a fortnight ago was a regular stumper. I thought I should have had another year and a half or two years, and, of course, that is just the jolliest part of school life. However, it cannot be helped."
"You talk the language, don't you, Bullen?"
"Well, I used to talk it, but I don't remember much about it now. You see I have been home six
