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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Vernon White</note> <subject> <topic>Atonement</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ -- Incarnation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ -- Person and Offices</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">232.3</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W582-V54</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780521407328</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14873/60.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14873/60.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071420.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
