The Atonement by Michael Winter
There has been much debate about the Atonement but the main problems remain unresolved and theologians are divided. Consequently, a cogent account of how exactly the human race was reconciled to God is still lacking. By analyzing the New Testament, the theologians of the early Church, St Anselm's theory of satisfaction and more modern thinkers, Michael Winter provides an explanation of the Atonement which avoids metaphor and myth and the pitfalls of the theory of placating an angry God. He offers an intellectual solution which is compatible with the scriptures and tradition, as well as being acceptable to the reasonable expectations of the modern world.
MICHAEL WINTER is the author of The Architects Are Here, which was longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and The Big Why, which was shortlisted for the Trillium Book Award and longlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His previous novel, The Death of Donna Whalen, was nominated for the Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. His first novel, This All Happened, won the Winterset Award. He is also the recipient of The Writers' Trust Notable Author Award. He divides his time between Toronto and St. John's.
