Mapping Atonement
About This Book
Across the centuries of church history, Christians have understood how Christ's death and life reconcile humanity to God in many different ways. This guide traces how those understandings emerged, changed over time, and split into separate lines of thought. Along the way, it offers a set of standards for judging which accounts hold up best. Readers first receive the core vocabulary of the subject, along with the key scriptural passages and ideas that shape it. The book then moves through the figures, writings, and debates that were most important to the doctrine's development, and shows how each major church tradition has expressed its own version of the teaching. The final section turns to contemporary discussion among evangelicals, examining the questions that are currently most actively debated. It weighs the strengths and weaknesses of the rival positions on each.
