Synopsis
The "Atonement" is one of the central beliefs of the Christian faith. It refers simply to what our Lord Jesus Christ has done, through his life, death and resurrection, to reconcile us sinners to the Holy God.
The question we will ask in our course is: "How did these acts of Christ achieve the atoning effect?" We will look at both the Bible and the writings of Christian thinkers through the ages for some answers.
