About this book
A fresh exploration of atonement, rooted in the theology of trust
Atonementāthe restoration of right relationship with God, which God has made possible for humanity through ChristāisĀ
theĀ good news of Christianity. How ought Christians think about the epicenter of salvation history?
Teresa Morgan takes up this longstanding question andāin a significant departure from both classical and modern theologiansāproposes new answers that are rooted in the concept of trust (
pistis). Weaving together exegesis and theology, sociology and psychology, Morgan defines atonement as the restoration of trust between God and humanity through the trust and trustworthiness of Jesus Christ. Her model has important implications for Christians' understanding of sin, suffering, and the possibility of forgiveness and restoration of trust among human beings.
