| book description |

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 â€œscandal of the crossâ€? What role does the notion of sacrifice, as understood in its ancient context, play in the atonement of Christ? Is the atonement a â€œvictoryâ€? How so? Was Christ a â€œsubstitute,â€ taking humankindâ€™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 Stewartâ€™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.
