Preface To The Third Edition
PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION
THE DEMAND FOR A NEW EDITION has given me the opportunity of revising the book throughout. Many of the alterations are merely verbal, but there have been one or two substantial changes. The arrangement of the material has been altered here and there, notably in the opening chapter, where there has been a rather radical rearrangement. I have also taken advantage of the opportunity to include a certain amount of new material, notably the new chapter IV, ‘The Lamb of God’, and the section on 
λαστήρoν in chapter VI on ‘Propitiation’. This latter has previously appeared in New Testament Studies, II, No. I, and I am grateful to the editors for permission to republish it here.

I have given careful consideration to such comments as have been brought to my notice, and the result is the multitude of small alterations I have mentioned. But I am still convinced that the main outline of the argument was essentially correct and I am glad of the opportunity of putting it forth in this new form.
