The Mystery of the Atonement

This engaging volume gathers eighteen essays on the mystery of the atonement. It includes the work of biblical scholars, dogmatic theologians, and spiritual formators who, in drawing from the wide stream of the Tradition, show that new connections can be discovered and new insights can be derived from the fathomless depths of this mystery. In style and tone, the essays range from the precision of professional theologians, to the pastoral concerns of priests, to the broad appeal of spiritual reflections that illumine the way of sanctity in following Christ crucified. The volume invites readers to contemplate the mystery of the atonement with fresh perspectives that underscore its lasting relevance.
