Theology
Atonement and the Life of Faith Adam J. Johnson SOTERIOLOGY AND DOXOLOGY Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel, series editors
This book provides substantive engagement with the doctrine of the atonement, including sections on the Apostles’ Creed, Scrip- ture, the history of the doctrine, dogmatics, and Christian praxis. Focusing on the third part of the Apostles’ Creed, it explores how atonement relates to the church, the Holy Spirit, and the Christian life. Each section offers a constructive departure from trends in contemporary works on the subject. “In this delightful work, Johnson draws us deep into the wonders of the doctrine of the atonement. Eschewing partisan efforts that tell us what to think on the subject, Johnson guides us instead to re- flect upon how we think about the atonement and how it relates to Christian life and worship. In the process, he sheds new light on the manifold riches of Scripture and the plentiful insights of tradition, offering welcome counsel both theological and spiritual.” —Paul T. Nimmo, University of Aberdeen “Today’s foremost scholar of the atonement has distilled his exten- sive expertise into pure theological nectar. Anyone interested in the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection—whether professor, student, pastor, or person in the pew—will find rich nourishment here.” —Han-luen Kantzer Komline, Western Theological Seminary, Holland, Michigan “Johnson is a simultaneously contemplative and passionate guide to atonement theology. His wide-ranging explorations encourage those of us who are at home in traditional Protestant soteriology to engage with neighboring concepts like healing, forgiveness, and other aspects of the Holy Spirit’s reconciling work.” —Daniel J. Treier, Wheaton College
