In this book, readers will enjoy a fascinating and cordial
discussion between N. T. Wright and Simon Gathercole on the meaning
and nature of the doctrine of atonement. These two highly respected
scholars discuss in clear and understandable language the meanings
of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Their discussion explores
various theories of atonement and looks closely at the Old
Testament to discover Paul's meaning of his words that "Christ died
for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures." Wright presents
his case first, then Gathercole responds with a contrary point of
view. Their discussion confronts questions including: What exactly
is this "scandal of the cross"? What role does the notion of
sacrifice, as understood in its ancient context, play in the
atonement of Christ? Is the atonement a "victory"? How so? Was
Christ a "substitute," taking humankind's place on the cross and
suffering the death and judgment that sinners deserve? How does the
death of Christ on the cross rescue or liberate sinners from death?
Does the cross achieve benefits for only humans, or do those
benefits extend to the entirety of creation? This book is a
succinct conversation in which all these questions receive
attention, with nuanced differences between the two interlocutors.
This conversation along with Robert Stewart's introductory
framework make this book an excellent primer to the study of the
atonement, and readers will come away with a deeper understanding
of the meanings of the cross.
