A Close Look at Atonement's Place in Contemporary Systematic
Theology. In light of renewed interest in the doctrine of
atonement-during which a range of "atonement models" have gained
momentum among different traditions-it's important to map these
models to the broader context of theological thought on this aspect
of Christ's work and to show how no single approach has the
complete picture. The proceedings of the third annual Los Angeles
Theology Conference seek to identify the place of the doctrine of
atonement in systematic theology. Locating Atonement stays away
from discussion of theories of atonement, typologies of those
theories, and contests among various theories. Instead, its focus
is on the question: What else is there to do in atonement theology
besides rehashing types and theories? The twelve diverse essays in
this collection include discussions on: Atonement and the concept
of punishment. Atonement and ascension. Atonement and human
suffering. Atonement and covenant. Each of the essays collected in
this volume engage with Scripture as well as with others in the
field-theologians both past and present, from different
confessions-in order to provide constructive resources for
contemporary systematic theology and to forge a theology for the
future.
