In The Forgiveness of Sins, Tim Carter examines the significance of
forgiveness in a New Testament context, delving deep into
second-century Christian literature on sin and the role of the
early church in mitigating it. This crucial spiritual issue is at
the core of what it means to be Christian, and Carter's thorough
and erudite examination of this theme is a necessity for any
professional or amateur scholar of the early church. Carter's
far-reaching analysis begins with St Luke, who is often accused of
weakness on the subject of atonement, but who in fact uses the
phrase 'forgiveness of sins' more frequently than any other New
Testament author. Carter explores patristic writers both heterodox
and orthodox, such as Marcion, Justin Martyr and Origen. He also
deepens our understanding of Second Temple Judaism and the
theological context in which Christian ideas about atonement
developed. Useful to both the academic and the pastoral theologian,
The Forgiveness of Sins is a painstaking, clear-eyed exploration of
what forgiveness meant not only to early Christians such as
Tertullian, Irenaeus and Luke, but to Jesus himself, and what it
means to Christians today.
