	Atonement
		The word atonement, constructed from at and one, means "to set at one" or "to reconcile." In Christian Theology, atonement denotes the doctrine of the reconciliation of God and man accomplished by the Crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.
		Atonement, in Christian theology, is the expiation of sin and the propitiation of God by the incarnation, life, sufferings, and death of Jesus Christ; the obedience and death of Christ on behalf of sinners as the ground of redemption; in the narrow sense, the sacrificial work of Christ for sinners.
		Theories of the atonement are legion as men in different countries and in different ages have tried to bring together the varied strands of scriptural teaching and to work them into a theory that will help others to understand how God has worked to bring us salvation.

	Atonement - LoveToKnow 1911
		Some or all of the conditions of atonement may be fulfilled, according to various views, either by the sinner or vicariously on his behalf by some kinsman; or by his family, clan or nation; or by some one else.
		The leading varieties of teaching, the Sayings of Jesus, Paul, the Johannine writings, the Epistle to the Hebrews, connect the atonement with Christ especially with His death, and associate it with faith in Him and with repentance and amendment of life.12 These ideas are also common to Christian teaching generally.
		The New Testament, however, does not indicate that its writers were agreed as to any formal dogma of the atonement, as regards the relation of the death of Christ to the sinner's restoration to God's favour; but various suggestions are made as to the solution of the problem.

	The Atonement by John Murray
		Atonement, however, when understood in the way that usage has determined, is sufficiently inclusive to serve as a general designation.
		Sacrifice views the atonement from the perspective of guilt, propitiation from that of wrath, reconciliation from that of alienation.
		The restriction which applies to the extent of the atonement is borne out not only by the evidence pertaining to the nature of the atonement but also by passages which define its design.

	A Covenantal View of Atonement
		Francis Hiebert, in her treatise on atonement in Anabaptist theology, writes that because of persecution, Anabaptist theological writing was not always possible nor a priority in their unsettled and often short lives.
		Atonement is not adequately explained by the “satisfaction” of divine wrath, by the power of divine example, or by the Christus victor motif.
		Rather, the meaning of atonement is found in the covenant actions of God—where all the conditions of God’s promissory covenant to all people of the earth are fulfilled.

	Finney's Systematic Theology--1851 Edition--Lecture XXXIV
		It has been asserted, that the same is true when an atonement has been made, and that therefore, the doctrines of atonement and consequent forgiveness tend to encourage the hope of impunity in the commission of sin, and for this reason, are dangerous doctrines subversive of high and sound morality.
		If an atonement were to extend its benefits to all worlds and to all eternity, it would nullify its own influence, and encourage the universal hope of impunity, in case the precepts of the law were violated.
		(16.) Atonement would afford him an opportunity always to gratify his love in his kindness to sinners, in using means for their salvation, in forgiving and saving them when they repent, without the danger of its being inferred in the universe, that he had not a sufficient abhorrence for their sin.

		For the atonement was not one of the subjects directly disputed between the Reformers and their Catholic opponents.
		His conception of the Atonement is moral and spiritual, rather than juridical and his system is distinguished by the fact that he lays stress on the relation of Christ to the whole Christian community.

	Atonement - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Atonement was made for the group by the priest without specific participation by the people although they were, originally at least, to take cognizance of the fact and at the time.
		No atonement for murder could make possible the residence of the murderer again in that section of the land where the murder was done (Numbers 35:33), although the land was not by the murder rendered unfit for occupation by others.
		In all atonement in Old Testament and New Testament the initiative is of God who not only devises and reveals the way to reconciliation, but by means of angels, prophets, priests and ultimately His only begotten Son applies the means of atonement and persuades men to accept the proffered reconciliation.

	THE ATONEMENT
		But if a correct philosophy of the atonement is not necessary for the salvation of penitent believers, it is necessary to the salvation of that orthodoxy which produces penitent believers in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.
		Such statements give occasion to the liberalists to caricature the orthodox doctrine of the atonement, making the Father the embodiment of unsparing distributive justice, a relentless Shylock demanding his pound of flesh; and the Son, the incarnation of mercy and love, appeasing His personal wrath and making Him willing to be compassionate.
		We come now to our second division, in which the necessity of the atonement is located wholly in the obduracy of the sinful race which needs this wonderful display of love and sacrifice to melt it into contrition and obedient faith.

	What are the various theories on the atonement?
		The atonement of Christ, its purpose and what it accomplished is so rich that volumes have been written about it, and this article will simply provide a brief overview of many of the different theories of the atonement that have been propagated at one time or another.
		In looking at the different views or theories of the atonement, we must never lose sight of the fact that any view that does not recognize the sinfulness of man and substitutionary aspect of the atonement is deficient at best and heretical at it’s worse.
		Those that hold this view believe that man is spiritually alive and that Christ’s life and atonement were simply an example of true faith and obedience and should serve as inspiration to men to live a similar life of faith and obedience.

	Atonement (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		When speaking of Christ's saving work, the word "satisfaction," the word used by the theologians of the Reformation, is to be preferred to the word "atonement." Christ's satisfaction is all he did in the room and in behalf of sinners to satisfy the demands of the law and justice of God.
		It must also be constantly kept in mind that the atonement is not the cause but the consequence of God's love for guilty men (John 3:16; Rom.

	Atonement - Ian McEwan
		() Atonement is both a criticism of fiction and a defense of fiction; a criticism of its shaping and exclusive torque, and a defense of its ideal democratic generosity to all.
		It dawns on readers: Briony's atonement is not her forsaking Cambridge to become a nurse, or trying to be forgiven by those she wronged, but rather it is the writing of this novel.
		It hardly plays a major role until near the end, but Atonement is a convincing example of why authors write novels -- indeed, of how (and why) we all create our own realities (be they in book form, or merely mind-games that allow us to bear the enormity that is life itself).

		Sin is the cause of the estrangement, and therefore the purpose of atonement is to correct or overcome the consequences of sin.

		Atonement is at the center of all theology and is the chief purpose of God becoming man. Only through atonement can we be reconciled to God.
		Others play the middle of the road, saying atonement affects God somewhat but is chiefly to affect man. Still others claim that the main purpose of atonement is to remove the wrath of a holy God against sin.
		This last group does not deny that man is changed through atonement, but the change which takes place in man is understood as a result of atonement, not a means to it.

		Ian McEwan's "Atonement" provides a retrospective view of an entire life spent trying to atone for a single youthful misdeed, though this retrospection can only be fully understood by the end of the book.
		"Atonement" is about the basic psychological (spiritual?) need to "balance the scales of justice," to somehow pay for our misdeeds with a sufficient number of significantly venerable ones (hence the privileged young protagonist becoming a war nurse, etc.).
		Atonement is an intricately developed novel that is divided into 3 parts.
