b'BIBLICAL STUDIES AND THEOLOGY40 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ATONEMENTCHANNING L. CRISLERAtonement sits at the very heart of Christian doctrine, describing believ-ers status as being one again with God through Jesus Christ. It is the culmination of Gods work of reconciliation, simultaneously defining believers relationship with God while also describing how that relation-ship is restored. Because of this, how one understands atonement has a profound impact on how one views and understands God, salvation, and human nature.New Testament scholar Channing L. Crisler offers a robust founda-tion for understanding the divine mystery of atonement, drawing on bib-lical and historical witnesses to answer pertinent questions, such as: Why is atonement necessary? What are the different theories of atonement? How is atonement understood by the various Christian traditions and world religions? What implications does ones understanding of atonement have on the present?Throughitsquestion-and-answerformat,40QuestionsAboutthe Atonement provides an expansive introduction to the doctrine of atone-ment, inviting the reader to wade into this divine mystery with curiosity and awe.This is a truly helpful book written in a format that is actually easy to read for the student, the scholar, and the everyday believer who only has fifteen minutes to spare on their lunch break. Its conversational. Its also both biblical and practical, which I find refreshing as well as spiritually nourishing.
