' Bishop Jeune tells us that 'after man had done his worst, worse remained for Christ to bear. He had fallen into his father'shands. ' Archbishop Thomson preaches that 'the clouds of God's wrathgathered thick over the whole human race: they discharged themselves onJesus only. ' He 'becomes a curse for us and a vessel of wrath. ' Liddonechoes the same sentiment: 'The apostles teach that mankind are slaves, and that Christ on the cross is paying their ransom. Christ crucified isvoluntarily devote...d and accursed'; he even speaks of 'the precise amountof ignominy and pain needed for the redemption, ' and says that the'divine victim' paid more than was absolutely necessary. "[215] These are the views against which the learned and deeply religious Dr. McLeod Campbell wrote his well-known work, _On the Atonement_, a volumecontaining many true and beautiful thoughts; F. D. Maurice and manyother Christian men have also striven to lift from Christianity theburden of a doctrine so destructive of all true ideas as to therelations between God and man.
