Atonement Book

Has some keen theological and biblical insights into the work of Christ - especially along the lines of redemptive history and how the Person relates to the work. Yet, Torrance's view of revelation ends up distorting many of his conclusions. Therefore:
(1) Focuses too much on the Calvin and the Calvinists debates into his arguments.
(2) Critical of any theory of atonement that lends itself as being foundational (read penal substitutionary atonement).
(3) Thinks it biblically absurd that Jesus was "punished" for our sins - argues for expiation instead of propitiation.
(4) Epistemologically impossible for one to conclude on any theory of atonement.

Excellent piece on the Extra Calvinisticum, however. There is much to benefit from this work, to be sure. Yet, fails to be a sure and biblical account of the Work of Christ.
