Product Description

Of course Christ died for our sins, but which of the leading theories best explains the biblical texts and our human dilemma: satisfaction of God's justice? expiation for crimes? purification due to self-sacrifice? delivery from thralldom to evil powers? The authors vigorously assess historical paradigms as well as modern re-formulations. 256 pages, softcover. Baker.

Publisher's Description

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2022 Book of the Year Award (Honorable Mention, Theological Studies)

This introduction traces the origins, development, and divergent streams of atonement theology throughout the Christian tradition and proposes key criteria by which we can assess their value. The authors introduce essential biblical terms, texts, and concepts of atonement; identify significant historical figures, texts, and topics; and show how various atonement paradigms are expressed in their respective church traditions. The book also surveys current "hot topics" in evangelical atonement theology and evaluates strengths and weaknesses of competing understandings of atonement.
