Atonement and the Life of Faith Adam J. Johnson SOTERIOLOGY AND DOXOLOGY Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel, series editors

This volume addresses the key soteriological theme of atonement. Atonement and the Life of Faith provides substantive engagement with the doctrine of the atonement, including sections on the Apostles’ Creed, Scripture, the history of the doctrine, constructive dogmatics, and Christian praxis. It focuses on the third part of the Apostles’ Creed, exploring how the church, the Holy Spirit, and the Christian life relate to the doctrine of the atonement. Each section offers a constructive departure from trends in contemporary works on the subject. Atonement and the Life of Faith shows students how to integrate theology into the life of faith and demonstrates how theological thinking is a part of Christian worship. Each unit begins with a brief section pointing readers to a familiar hymn, poem, or liturgy.

“Anyone interested in the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrec- tion—whether professor, student, pastor, or person in the pew—will find rich nourishment here.” —HAN-LUEN KANTZER KOMLINE, Western Theological Seminary, Holland, Michigan
