{"product_id":"gods-just-vengeance-timothy-gorringe-9780521557627","title":"God's Just Vengeance: Crime, Violence and the Rhetoric of Salvation","description":"This book examines the relationship between the theologies of atonement and penal strategies. Christian theology was potent in Western society until the nineteenth century, and the so-called \"satisfaction theory\" of the atonement interacted and reacted with penal practice. Gorringe argues that atonement theology created a structure of affect that favored retributive policies. He reviews theory and practice in the twentieth century, and makes concrete proposals for both theology and criminal and societal violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Gorringe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521557623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521557627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.43w x 0.68d","brand":"Timothy Gorringe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119815618815,"sku":"9780521557627","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99c43619-2b07-4f82-b89b-684f892a1397.jpg?v=1687411077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-just-vengeance-timothy-gorringe-9780521557627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
