According to the Nicene Creed, Christ died for us and for our
salvation. But while all Christians agree that Christ's death and
resurrection has saving significance, there is little unanimity in
how and why that is the case. In fact, Christian history is
littered with accounts of the redemptive value of Christ's death,
and new models and motifs are constantly being proposed, many of
which now stand in stark contrast to earlier thought. How then
should contemporary articulations of the importance of the death of
Christ be judged? At the heart of this book is the contention that
Christian reflection on the atonement is faithful inasmuch as it
incorporates the intention that Jesus himself had for his death. In
a wide-reaching study, the author draws from both classical
scholarship and recent work on the historical Jesus to argue that
not only did Jesus imbue his death with redemptive meaning but that
such meaning should impact expressions of the saving significance
of the cross.
