Overview

The Baker Academic Studies on the Atonement collection examines the difficult doctrine of the atonement with clear, biblical discussion. This collection explores how this doctrine affects our participation in the life of God and in the shared life of the Christian community while tracing the origins, development, and divergent streams of atonement theology throughout the Christian tradition. These volumes affirm the centrality of the death and resurrection of Christ and the need for each successive generation of Christians to affirm and apply the doctrine of the atonement to contemporary contexts.
