How can a doctrine about reconciliation with God create so much
controversy among God's people? Theologian Brad Vaughn believes
Christians can gain clarity and unity on the doctrine of the
atonement through a renewed attention to the biblical evidence.
While theological theories are necessary and useful, they can
obscure reality as much as clarify it. And we're often ignorant of
the role that cultural and historical context plays in shaping
these views. Instead of beginning by comparing atonement theories,
he argues, we need to delve deep into the Bible, where we find a
handful of motifs that combine to form a richer, more robust
theology of atonement. The Cross in Context presents a perspective
on the atonement that seeks to reconcile theological camps and
enable Christians to interpret the Bible more faithfully. It draws
from the entire biblical canon and considers the New Testament in
light of its Old Testament background, focusing on the internal
logic of Israel's sacrificial system. Applying his intercultural
ministry experience and expertise on honor and shame, Vaughn also
considers how to effectively contextualize the multifaceted message
of salvation in diverse cultural contexts. Combining missiology,
theology, and biblical studies, The Cross in Context provides a
refreshing and nuanced look at the atonement and what it means for
the life and witness of the church.
