While theological theories are necessary and useful, they can obscure reality as much as clarify it. And we're often ignorant of the role that cultural and historical context plays in shaping these views. Instead of beginning by comparing atonement theories, he argues, we need to delve deep into the Bible, where we find a handful of motifs that combine to form a richer, more robust theology of atonement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cross in Context\u003c\/i\u003e presents a perspective on the atonement that seeks to reconcile theological camps and enable Christians to interpret the Bible more faithfully. It draws from the entire biblical canon and considers the New Testament in light of its Old Testament background, focusing on the internal logic of Israel's sacrificial system. Applying his intercultural ministry experience and expertise on honor and shame, Vaughn also considers how to effectively contextualize the multifaceted message of salvation in diverse cultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining missiology, theology, and biblical studies, \u003ci\u003eThe Cross in Context\u003c\/i\u003e provides a refreshing and nuanced look at the atonement and what it means for the life and witness of the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Vaughn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514000288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514000281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2022","brand":"Brad Vaughn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071574831359,"sku":"9781514000281","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4c2e9e0-10dc-4f62-b5e8-b567c38033bb.jpg?v=1685436918","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cross-in-context-jackson-w-9781514000281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
