Problems with Atonement: The Origins of, and Controversy about, the Atonement Doctrine - Stephen Finlan
The origins of atonement are found in Paul's writings. Popular Christian theology has understood them to mean that God demanded a bloody victim to pay for human sin. In Problems with Atonement Stephen Finlan examines the Christian doctrine of atonement and current debates about it. He considers its biblical foundation in Pauline texts, the Old Testament background, and the theological questions under discussion about atonement. He provides ancient historical background and raises questions, such as whether the Incarnation must be understood through the lens of atonement.

Chapter 1
Sacrifice and Scapegoat

Chapter 2
Paul's Use of Cultic Imagery

Reviews
"Problems with Atonement is an ambitious argument against theories of atonement. "
-Worship

". . . its discussion of biblical theology contains ideas that could bear much fruit."
-Worship

"This is the most helpful book on the Atonement to appear in modern times. While the Incarnation is an essential Christian idea, the Atonement is not. Finlan suggests that we look to the doctrine of theosis as more true to the implications of the Incarnation."
-Robert J. Daly, S.J., Professor Emeritus of Theology, Boston College

Stephen Finlan, Ph.D. has been a researcher, for the past six years, with the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture at Drew University.
