The Mosaic of Atonement offers a fresh and integrated approach to
historic models of atonement. While modern treatments of the
doctrine have tended toward either a defensive hierarchy, in which
one model is singled out as most important, or a disconnected
plurality, in which multiple images are affirmed but with no order
of arrangement, this book argues for a reintegration of four famous
"pieces" of atonement doctrine through the governing image of
Christ-shaped mosaic. Unlike a photograph in which tiny pixels
present a seamless blending of color and shape, a mosaic allows
each piece to retain its recognizable particularity, while also
integrating them in the service of a single larger image. If one
stands close, one can identify individual squares of glass or tile
that compose the greater picture. And if one steps back, there is
the larger picture to be admired. Yet in the great mosaics of
age-old Christian churches, the goal is not for viewers to
construct the image, as in a puzzle, but to appreciate it. So too
with this mosaic of atonement doctrine. While no one model is set
above or against the others, the book notes particular ways in
which the "pieces"--the feet, heart, head, and hands--mutually
support one another to form a more holistic vision of Christ's
work. "This is my body," Jesus said to his followers, and by
reintegrating these oft-dismembered aspects of atonement, we will
note fresh ways in which it was given for us.
