One of the most pressing issues in the doctrine of the atonement
today is the question of the unity and diversity of the work of
Christ. What are we to make of the diversity within the biblical
witness and the history of doctrine when it comes to explanations
of the meaning and significance of Jesus' death and resurrection?
Without a grasp of the unity of his work, our understanding and use
of the diversity runs the risk of becoming haphazard and
disordered. Proposals regarding the unity of Christ's work today
tend to focus on the metaphorical nature of language, the role of
culture, and various possible conceptual schemes, rarely reflecting
on unity and diversity proper to the being God. To fill this gap,
Johnson draws on Karl Barth's integrated account of the doctrines
of God and reconciliation, harnessing the resources contained
within the doctrines of the Trinity and divine perfections to
energize a properly theological account of the unity and diversity
of the atonement.
