The concept of the atonement is one of the defining doctrine of
Christianity. Over the course of many centuries, theologians,
church forefathers, philosophers and more have proposed a huge
expanse of interpretations of Christ's sacrifice for humanity, each
different to the next. In this ambitious study, Eleonore Stump uses
the context of this history of interpretation to reconsider the
doctrine afresh with philosophical care. Whatever exactly the
atonement is, it is supposed to include a solution to the problems
of the human condition, especially its guilt and shame. Stump
canvasses the major interpretations of the doctrine, highlighting
their shortcomings as an explanation for this solution. In their
place, she argues for an interpretation that is both novel whilst
still using traditional theology, including Anselm's well-known
account of the doctrine. Atonement is a rich exploration of the
doctrine and all that it covers: love, union, guilt, shame,
forgiveness, retribution, punishment, shared attention,
mind-reading, empathy, and various other issues in moral psychology
and ethics.
