40 Questions about the Atonement
Atonement sits at the very heart of Christian doctrine, describing believers' status as "being one again" with God through Jesus Christ.

Because of this, how one understands atonement has a profound impact on how one views and understands God, salvation, and human nature. New Testament scholar Channing L.

Praise for this book
On a single page, Channing Crisler references J. I. Packer and Mark Dever, Anselm of Canterbury, Georges Florovsky, Richard Hays, and 1 Corinthians--an approach indicative of the book as a whole: saturated in Scripture, sensitive to the history of the church, ecumenical in scope but evangelical in spirit, and attuned to the breadth, depth, and nuances of this great doctrine. For those who have questions about the death and resurrection of Jesus, this is a great resource capturing the spirit of a joyful, charitable, and confident evangelicalism.--Adam Johnson "Associate Professor of Theology,

As a former seminarian and current pastor and evangelist, I've recently sensed a more urgent need to teach Christians theology while also noticing how difficult it is to teach anyone almost anything of true substance in our distracted, screen-addicted culture. That is why I was excited to see my friend Channing Crisler write 40 Questions About the Atonement . This is a truly helpful book written in a format that is easy to read for the student, the scholar, and the everyday believer who only has 15 minutes to spare on their lunch break. It's conversational. It's also both biblical and practical, which I find refreshing as well as spiritually nourishing. I think this book is a gift to the church as well as the academy.--Clayton King "Pastor, Evangelist, and author of Reborn and Stronger" (9/13/2024 12:00:00 AM)
