Outline: The more prominent highlights of this history have acquired familiar names for the household of faith: Christus Victor, penal substitutionary, subjective, governmental. Recently the penal substitutionary view, and particularly its misappropriations, has been critiqued, and a lively debate has taken hold within and evangelicalism. This book offers a panel discussions of four views of atonement maintained by four evangelical scholars. The proponents and their views are
- Gregory A. Boyd: Christus Victor view
- Joel B. Green: kaleidoscopic view
- Bruce R. Reichenbach: healing view
- Thomas R. Schreiner: penal substutionary view
Following an introduction written by the editors, each participant first puts forth the case of his view. Each view is followed by responses from the three other participants, noting points of agreement as well as disagreement. This is a book that will help Christians understand the issues, grasp the differences and proceed a clearer articulation of their understanding of the atonement.
