Jesus' death and resurrection are undeniably central to the
Christian faith. But how, precisely, is their significance to be
understood?
Concerned to reinvigorate the church's teaching on the cross,
the resurrection, and salvation -- the atonement -- Peter
Schmiechen here invites readers to rediscover the wealth of the
Christian tradition. In "Saving Power he makes ample use of primary
sources to unpack ten distinct theories of atonement, welcoming
aspects of each rather than championing only one. Along the way, he
demonstrates that while most Christians assume the basic theme of
atonement to be sin and forgiveness, other powerful themes --
liberation from oppressive powers, reconciliation in the face of
division, and the hope of resurrection in the face of death, for
instance -- also deserve to be studied and preached.
Affirming orthodox teaching while offering a positive take on
marginal views, "Saving Power is a crucial resource for anyone who
seeks a fuller understanding of Christ's work.
