About This Book

A series of Holy Week addresses reexamines the meaning of Christ's death, rejecting penal or transactional theories that reduce divine action to legal bargaining. The speaker contends that punishment is remedial and that the deepest harm of sin is the soul's alienation from God; accordingly the Atonement seeks the cure of sin and the restoration of the divine image in humanity. Stressing Christ's oneness with both God and humankind, the death on the cross is described as a moral fact embodied in history that enables personal transformation. The talks consider implications for holiness, critique legalistic language, and portray the Cross as sacrificial love enacted for human restoration.
