The Mystery of the Atonement

This engaging volume gathers eighteen essays on the mystery of the atonement. It includes the work of biblical scholars, dogmatic theologians, and spiritual formators who, in drawing from the wide stream of the Tradition, show that new insights can be drawn from and new connections can be discovered in the atonement. In style and tone, the essays range from the precision of professional theologians, to the pastoral concerns of priests, to the broad appeal of spiritual reflections that illumine the way of sanctity in following Christ crucified. The volume invites readers to contemplate the mystery of the atonement with fresh perspectives that underscore its lasting relevance.
