King, priest, and prophet : a Trinitarian theology of atonement
Books are written for multiple and sometimes competing reasons. This book intends to serve the church and its mission o f communicating the good news o f Christ's atoning work to the world. So its primary and intended audience is Christian ministers, whether they be ordained clergy, seminary students seeking to become such, or lay leaders. To be sure, I am an “academic theologian” and the book exhibits a number o f standard academic trappings (about which more below), but my motivation for writing is pastoral. I am convinced that theology written for the academy— or, more pointedly, just for other academic theologians—misses its original and true calling. T hat calling is to serve the church by helping it better understand the Rill meaning and implications o f the gospel it proclaims in its preaching, liturgy, counseling, catechesis, and evangelism. I offer this book in hopes that it may make certain biblical themes and theological traditions more accessible and powerfully present for ministers in their diverse pastoral work, to the end that the church's work may be faithfully enriched and strengthened.
