He provides a critical reading of the history of major atonement theories, offering an in-depth analysis of the legal and political contexts within which they arose. The book engages the latest work in atonement theory and serves as a helpful resource for contemporary discussions. This is the only book that explores the impact of theories of law and justice on major historical atonement theories. Understanding this relationship yields a better understanding of atonement thinkers by situating them in their intellectual contexts. The book also explores the relevance of the doctrine of divine simplicity for atonement theory.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Adonis Vidu</note> <subject> <topic>Justification (Christian theology) History of doctrines</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">232.3</classification> <classification authority="ddc">A239-V65</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801039195</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/26/_067160093_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/26/_067160093_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070730.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
