Christian theology was potent in Western society until the nineteenth century, and the so-called ""satisfaction theory"" of the atonement interacted and reacted with penal practice. Gorringe argues that atonement theology created a structure of affect that favored retributive policies. He reviews theory and practice in the twentieth century, and makes concrete proposals for both theology and criminal and societal violence.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Timothy Gorringe</note> <subject> <topic>Reconciliation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Sin</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Violence -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261.8336</classification> <classification authority="ddc">G673-T59</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0521557623, 9780521557627</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15115/51rmm9pswqs-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15115/51rmm9pswqs-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071437.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
