"Do atonement theologies that focus on Jesus's death underwrite human violence? If so, we do well to rethink beliefs that this death is necessary to bring salvation. Focusing on the Bible's salvation story, Instead of atonement argues for a logic of mercy to replace Christianity's traditional logic of retribution."--Cover.
