The Logic of Penal Substitution
by J.I. Packer
“The cross had the character of penal substitution, and that it was in virtue of this fact that it brought salvation to mankind.”
The Logic of Penal Substitution is essential for gaining a fundamental understanding of this doctrine. The words “penal” and “substitution” are explained with such deliberateness so that Packer does not gloss over, or ignore any objections to the doctrine. It is Packer’s conviction that the notion of penal substitution “takes us to the very heart of the Christian gospel.”
This electronic edition is taken from J.I. Packer’s lecture at The Tyndale Biblical Theology Lecture (1973). This text features an active table of contents.
The Logic of Penal Substitution is part of The Fig Classic Series on Modern Theology. To view more books in our catalog, visit us at fig-books.com.

Dr. Packer, the Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology at Regent College, was hailed by TIME as “a doctrinal Solomon” among Protestants. “Mediating debates on everything from a particular Bible translation to the acceptability of free-flowing Pentecostal spirituality, Packer helps unify a community [evange licalism] that could easily fall victim to its internal tensions.”
Knowing God, Dr. Packer’s seminal 1973 work, was lauded as a book which articulated shared beliefs for members of diverse denominations; the TIME profile quotes Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington as saying, “conservative Methodists and Presbyterians and Baptists could all look to [Knowing God] and say, ‘This sums it all up for us.’”
In a similar tribute to Dr. Packer almost ten years ago, American theologian Mark Noll wrote in Christianity Today that, “Packer’s ability to address immensely important subjects in crisp, succinct sentences is one of the reasons why, both as an author and speaker, he has played such an important role among American evangelicals for four decades.”
For over 25 years Regent College students have been privileged to study under Dr. Packer’s clear and lucid teaching, and our faculty, staff and students celebrate the international recognition he rightly receives as a leading Christian thinker and teacher.
