A Constructively Critical Conversation between Nonviolent and Substitutionary Perspectives on Atonement

Theology

“Was the death of Jesus Christ a form of child abuse? Hojin Ahn rescues the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement from both the lurid descriptions of evangelical preachers and the avant-garde theologians through this careful and critical analysis of the place of violence in atonement theology. His description of the ‘for us’ nature of Christ is an invitation for dialogue and a reason for doxology. I heartily commend this book.”

A Kind of Solitude

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In this story of a man with a broken heart and the healing power of an icon, Jamie Howison recounts how, with the aid of ancient spiritual insights and practices, and the faithfulness of an undergraduate Christian community in Halifax, a remarkable transformation took place in his life. St. Augustine said that the soul is like a ‘waterless land,’ and in this journal we see the divine gardener at work, bringing about restoration and new life. This testimony will bring hope to others who long to see God while in a place of disillusionment and desperation.”
