Summary:

"Teresa Morgan develops a new model of atonement based on trust"-- Provided by publisher.

"A fresh exploration of atonement, rooted in the theology of trust Atonement-the restoration of right relationship with God, which God has made possible for humanity through Christ-is the good news of Christianity. How ought Christians think about the epicenter of salvation history? Teresa Morgan argues for understanding atonement as the restoration of trust (pistis, fides) between God and humanity through the trust and trustworthiness of Jesus Christ. Weaving together exegesis and theology, sociology and psychology, Morgan shows how trust saves both the sinful and the suffering. She also illuminates the role of trust in forgiveness and reconciliation between human beings. Students and scholars of the New Testament will find Morgan's argument a welcome challenge to both classical and current leading frameworks of atonement"-- Provided by publisher.
