Cross Words:The Biblical Doctrine of the Atonement
|
The post-modern society is so focussed on the internal life of the individual that it makes the significance of the cross a difficult concept to grasp. Even Christians are trying to find alternative ways of explaining it - some have abandoned the concept of atonement entirely.
Jesus, though, is far more than a victim. When God receives and approves the condemned Jesus he transcends the world of oppressor and victim to create a new humanity, capable of new kinds of relationships. Atonement speaks of a transition from brokenness, alienation and the death of love to a place of restoration, healing, and wholeness. A place that holds out hope for deepening friendships and mutual confidence - the exact same things the post-modern mind is lacking, and is looking for.
Professor of Systematic Theology at Facult' Libre Theologie Reformee in Aix-en-Provence, France.

"Paul Wells...unwraps the various words and their meaning in this substantial treatment. Concepts such as love, Justice, Mediator, Violence, Sacrifice, and many move from the basis of the book but he also interacts with modern objections of Atonement of atonement showing a deep insight into how the atonement is relevant to post-modern culture."
Dee Cornell, CLC World, CLC
'Paul Wells faces head-on the modern (and not-so-modern) challenges to a Biblical viewpoint on the atonement. He evaluates knowledgeably and fairly the most significant denials on such crucial issues as the wrath of God, penal substitution, imputation and propitiation.... It will be an important aid for those who wish to preach effectively the Gospel'
Douglas Kelly, Richard Jordan Professor of Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina
'This is a satisfying book about the atonement, written by a man of God who lives in the biblical text, and yet is in close touch with the real world and today's church. Who can fail to profit from a book like this?'
Stuart Olyott, Pastoral Director of The Evangelical Movement of Wales
'Paul is emerging as one of the premier evangelical theologians of our day. Cross Words is at once accessible and erudite.'
William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
