Even Christians are trying to find alternative ways of explaining it - some have abandoned the concept of atonement entirely.   Jesus, though, is far more than a victim. When God receives and approves the condemned Jesus he transcends the world of oppressor and victim to create a new humanity, capable of new kinds of relationships.

A place that holds out hope for deepening friendships and mutual confidence - the exact same things the post-modern mind is lacking, and is looking for.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308407894389,"sku":"9781845501181","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781845501181.jpg?v=1762807477","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781845501181","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
