Book Synopsis The Extent of the Atonement by : David L. Allen
Download or read book The Extent of the Atonement written by David L. Allen and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 921 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extent of Christ’s atoning work on the cross is one of the most divisive issues in evangelical Christianity. In The Extent of the Atonement: A Historical and Critical Review, David L. Allen makes a biblical, historical, theological, and practical case for a universal atonement. Through a comprehensive historical survey, Allen contends that universal atonement has always been the majority view of Christians, and that even among Calvinist theologians there is a considerable range of views. Marshalling evidence from Scripture and history, and critiquing arguments for a limited atonement, Allen affirms that an unlimited atonement is the best understanding of Christ’s saving work. He concludes by showing that an unlimited atonement provides the best foundation for evangelism, missions, and preaching.

Book Synopsis Atonement: A Guide for the Perplexed by : Adam J. Johnson
Download or read book Atonement: A Guide for the Perplexed written by Adam J. Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians agree that they are saved through the death and resurrection of Christ. But how is the atonement achieved in these events? This book offers an introduction to the doctrine of the atonement focused on the unity and diversity of the work of Christ. Johnson reorients current patterns of thought concerning Christ's work by giving the reader a unifying vision of the immensely rich and diverse doctrine of the atonement, offering a sampling of its treasures, and cultivating the desire to further understand and apply these riches to everyday life. Where introductions to the atonement typically favor one aspect of the work of Christ, or work with a set number of themes, aspects or theories, this book takes the opposite approach, developing the foundation for the multi-faceted nature of Christ's work within the being of God himself. It offers a grand unifying vision of Christ's manifold work. Specific elaborations of different theories of the atonement, biblical themes, and the work of different theologians find their place within this larger rubric.
Download or read book Greater Than Aaron written by Josh Niemi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For whom did Christ die? For some, this question comes as a surprise. "Are there actually differing views?" For others, the answer is obvious. Ask the average churchgoer, and without skipping a beat the answer will undoubtedly be, "Everyone!" But that answer raises several important questions, especially for those who affirm the doctrine historically known as Penal Substitutionary Atonement. Did Jesus die for every single individual, even though most will wind up in hell for eternity? If so, how is that concept a penal atonement--how could it be said that Jesus truly paid the legal penalty for those who will end up having to pay their own legal penalty? Furthermore, how is that concept a substitutionary atonement--if Jesus truly was everyone's substitute, how can anyone still be condemned? By thoroughly examining one of the key Old Testament passages--the Day of Atonement as described in Leviticus 16--the question can be answered with confidence. Aaron, serving as high priest for the nation of Israel, foreshadowed the work of Jesus, the greater high priest. Thus, a comparison between the two of them reveals exactly what Christ accomplished in His death on the cross--and for whom.
Book Synopsis More Than Atonement by : John B. Champion
Download or read book More Than Atonement written by John B. Champion and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to set forth Jesus Christ as the alpha and the omega of what God has for us. It portrays the universe of God with the redeemer as its soul and center. It presents the self-sacrifice of Christ as that which gives him his place forever. The vision of this volume is “the lamb in the midst of the throne.” Its message is: “The Lamb that hath been slain” and “is alive forevermore” redeems us by his sacrifice by redeeming us unto it. So, what his sacrifice is to us, gives us our place forever. If all thought obscuring what he has done for us and can be to us, is a barrier to his best for us; surely any interpretation which reveals that utmost he can be to us, ought to be most welcome; for, it seeks to present to mind and heart the mind and heart of the message and mission of Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Atonement and the Death of Christ by : William Lane Craig
Download or read book Atonement and the Death of Christ written by William Lane Craig and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his death on the cross, Christ atoned for sin and so reconciled people to God. New Testament authors drew upon a range of metaphors and motifs to describe this salvific act, and down through history Christian thinkers have tried to articulate various theories to explain the atonement. While Christ's sacrifice serves as a central tenet of the Christian faith, the mechanism of atonement--exactly how Christ effects our salvation--remains controversial and ambiguous to many Christians. In Atonement and the Death of Christ, William Lane Craig conducts an interdisciplinary investigation of this crucial Christian doctrine, drawing upon Old and New Testament studies, historical theology, and analytic philosophy. The study unfolds in three discrete parts: Craig first explores the biblical basis of atonement and unfolds the wide variety of motifs used to characterize this doctrine. Craig then highlights some of the principal alternative theories of the atonement offered by great Christian thinkers of the premodern era. Lastly, Craig's exploration delves into a constructive and innovative engagement with philosophy of law, which allows an understanding of atonement that moves beyond mystery and into the coherent mechanism of penal substitution. Along the way, Craig enters into conversation with contemporary systematic theories of atonement as he seeks to establish a position that is scripturally faithful and philosophically sound. The result is a multifaceted perspective that upholds the suffering of Christ as a substitutionary, representational, and redemptive act that satisfies divine justice. In addition, this carefully reasoned approach addresses the rich tapestry of Old Testament imagery upon which the first Christians drew to explain how the sinless Christ saved his people from the guilt of their sins.
Download or read book Christus Victor written by Gustaf Aulen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustaf Aulen's classic work, 'Christus Victor', has long been a standard text on the atonement. Aulen applies history of ideas' methodology to historical theology in tracing the development of three views of the atonement. Aulen asserts that in traditional histories of the doctrine of the atonement only two views have usually been presented, the objective/Anselmian and the subjective/Aberlardian views. According to Aulen, however, there is another type of atonement doctrine in which Christ overcomes the hostile powers that hold humanity in subjection, at the same time that God in Christ reconciles the world to Himself. This view he calls the "classic" idea of the atonement. Because of its predominance in the New Testament, in patristic writings, and in the theology of Luther, Aulen holds that the classic type may be called the distinctively Christian idea of the atonement.
Book Synopsis A Community Called Atonement by : Scot McKnight
Download or read book A Community Called Atonement written by Scot McKnight and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries the church developed a number of metaphors, such as penal substitution or the ransom theory, to speak about Christ's death on the cross and the theological concept of the atonement. Yet too often, says Scot McKnight, Christians have held to the supremacy of one metaphor over against the others, to their detriment. He argues instead that to plumb the rich theological depths of the atonement, we must consider all the metaphors of atonement and ask whether they each serve a larger purpose. A Community Called Atonement is a constructive theology that not only values the church's atonement metaphors but also asserts that the atonement fundamentally shapes the life of the Christian and of the church. That is, Christ identifies with humans to call us into a community that reflects God's love (the church)--but that community then has the responsibility to offer God's love to others through missional practices of justice and fellowship, living out its life together as the story of God's reconciliation. Scot McKnight thus offers an accessible, thought-provoking theology of atonement that engages the concerns of those in the emerging church conversation and will be of interest to all those in the church and academy who are listening in.

Book Synopsis Rebuilding Catholic Culture by : Ryan Nathan Scott Topping
Download or read book Rebuilding Catholic Culture written by Ryan Nathan Scott Topping and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely does a book come along that so succinctly explains the decline of modern culture, articulates a defense of the Church's teachings, and offers a hope-filled path for building a civilization grounded in Catholic truth. In these pages, Dr. Ryan Topping does all three, pulling back the curtain on the false philosophies of the secularists and showing that in the West today the most formidable threat to freedom is not failing economies or Islam, but secularism. Our best defense, he claims, is a vibrant Catholic culture, and our best hope for creating it lies in the principles found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In Rebuilding Catholic Culture, you'll discover sensible ways to begin restoring Catholic culture - right now-in your own life and family, and in our larger communities as well: in the theater, in the classroom, in our hospitals, and even in the public square. This profoundly accessible book will renew your confidence in the world-transforming character of our Creed and in the potency of our Faith to shape and redefine the culture of the West. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture by : Bart D. Ehrman
Download or read book The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victors not only write history: they also reproduce the texts. Bart Ehrman explores the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, examining how early struggles between Christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which many of the debates were waged. He makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity and raises intriguing questions about the relationship of readers to their texts, especially in an age when scribes could transform the documents they reproduced. This edition includes a new afterword surveying research in biblical interpretation over the past twenty years.
