About This Book

The author contends that the Atonement lies at the heart of Christian faith and addresses two main intellectual obstacles in modern thinking: worldviews that render atonement questions unintelligible and misconceptions about New Testament teaching. He explores sin and the divine response, and analyzes how the relationship between Christ and humanity is conceived within atonement theology, insisting that its truth must be mediated historically and experienced spiritually through Scripture. The essays seek to reconcile sincere modern sensibilities with traditional doctrine by exposing what in contemporary thought is valid and by correcting errors that block reception of the central Christian claim.
