The doctrine of the atonement is the distinctive doctrine of
Christianity. Over the course of many centuries of reflection,
highly diverse interpretations of the doctrine have been proposed.
In the context of this history of interpretation, Eleonore Stump
considers 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
that attempt to explain this solution and argues that all of them
have serious shortcomings. In their place, she argues for an
interpretation that is both novel and yet traditional and that has
significant advantages over other interpretations, including
Anselms well-known account of the doctrine. In the process, she
also discusses love, union, guilt, shame, forgiveness, retribution,
punishment, shared attention, mind-reading, empathy, and various
other issues in moral psychology and ethics.
