The central Christian belief in salvation through the suffering,
death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ remains one of the most
intractable mysteries of Christian faith. Throughout history, it
has given rise to various theories of atonement, many of which have
been subject to critique as they no longer speak to contemporary
notions of evil and sin or to current conceptions of justice. One
of the important challenges for contemporary Christian theology
thus involves exploring new ways of understanding the salvific
meaning of the cross. In Atonement and Comparative Theology,
Christian theologians with expertise in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism,
Buddhism, Daoism, and African Religions reflect on how engagement
with these traditions sheds new light on the Christian
understanding of atonement by pointing to analogous structures of
sin and salvation, drawing attention to the scandal of the cross as
seen by the religious other, and re-interpreting aspects of the
Christian understanding of atonement. Together, they illustrate the
possibilities for comparative theology to deepen and enrich
Christian theological reflection.
