In this book Vernon White sets out to address the crisis of
credibility that increasingly has affected traditional claims made
for the Atonement, and attempts to explain how the life, death, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ can have a universal saving
significance. The present work stands as something of a sequel to
the author's earlier book The Fall of a Sparrow, which attempted to
show how God might be conceived as being universally and specially
active in the world. In this study, White concentrates on the
saving nature of that activity, and the coherence which he feels
emerges if this is grounded in the particularity of the
Christ-event. In defending the constitutive nature of Christ's role
in the salvation of the world, without relying on Anselmian or
penal substitutionary models of atonement, White proposes an
atonement model which could rehabilitate such a belief without
offending moral and conceptual sensibilities. A supporting chapter
is provided outlining the kind of christology required to sustain
this model, while the final chapters of the book discuss the
ethical implications of the position adopted.
