Description

The Nonviolent Atonement challenges traditional Christian thought by offering a nonviolent paradigm for understanding atonement. This revised and updated second edition builds upon J. Denny Weaver's original work, incorporating new material on Paul and Anselm, expanded discussion on the development of violence in theology, and response to criticisms. Weaver's approach is grounded in the New Testament and sensitive to contemporary concerns from pacifist, feminist, womanist, and black theologians. This book provides a radically new theory on atonement, distinct from existing refurbishments or rejections of traditional views. A significant contribution to christological conversation, this work offers an important perspective on the nature of atonement and its relationship with violence in theology.
