Salvation As a Mechanical Process

Theology

“The meaning of Jesus’ death is a great mystery. The Bible and history of theology bring to light many of its deep places. But many Western Christians, drawn to mechanical explanations, have limited their gaze to the culturally outdated interpretation of sacrificial blood atonement. Davies shines his light on other interpretations more suitable to modern Western culture. Readers will be fascinated as he ably guides them through twenty centuries of Christian reflection on this mystery.”
