Limited Atonement

The following is taken from an email correspondence.

What do you think about the term "particular redemption" in place of "limited atonement"? The other day I heard another theologian speak on the subject, and he stated that "limited atonement" was not the best term to use. He did not go into detail, so I thought I would ask if you think that there might be a problem with the term.

Please look this up in my Systematic Theology, p. 137-138. For an exposition of the doctrine beyond my remarks on the term, read all the way through p. 146. Also see Commentary on Ephesians, p. 34-38, or in Chosen in Christ, p. 27-31, for an exposition on the doctrine.
