RETHINKING THE ATONEMENT New Perspectives on Jesus’s Death, Resurrection, and Ascension David M. Moffitt Foreword by N. T. Wright “Rarely does a new body of scholarship come along that compels us to rethink what we thought we knew about the New Testament. Moffitt’s work on the Letter to the Hebrews is exactly that sort of game-changing intervention.” —RICHARD B. HAYS, Duke University (emeritus) “An eye-opening series of arguments, each one of which now needs to be pondered and integrated into our overall assessment of Hebrews and its contribution to early Christian thought as a whole.” —N. T. WRIGHT (from the foreword) “This volume will be indispensable for the study of Hebrews, and it should be foundational for the devel- opment of atonement theology.” —LOVEDAY ALEXANDER, University of Sheffield (emerita) “Moffitt has changed not only how I read Hebrews but how I conceive of my faith. I’m eager to put this volume into the hands of my students and parishioners.” —AMY PEELER, Wheaton College “This collection of essays is not simply a rethinking but a Copernican Revolution in atonement theology, both because it concerns the movement of a celestial body (the risen and ascended Jesus Christ) and because it calls for a reversal of some traditional soteriological polarities.” —KEVIN J. VANHOOZER, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “It will no longer be possible to write on the atonement, let alone Christology, without engaging in detail with the exegetical arguments that Moffitt presents. This is one of those rare books in biblical scholarship that should be compulsory reading not only for biblical scholars but also for academic theologians, students, and pastors alike.” —ALAN J. TORRANCE, University of St. Andrews (emeritus) “This is a spectacular set of essays from one of the greatest living New Testament scholars.” —MADISON N. PIERCE, Western Theological Seminary
