Even theologians have had different ideas about the theology of atonement; how are the rest of supposed to understand it? This book is a good place to start. Crysdale, whose background in both psychology and theology gives her a unique perspective, presents an overview of the history of the theology of atonement, addressing clearly the difficulties around this concept, and bringing us with her to a contemporary understanding. The book is written in everyday language and concludes with an appendix: "Case Studies in Transformation: A Series of Stories of People Whose Lives Have Been Transformed Through Life in Christ and Christ's Community of Beloveds." | Transformed Lives by Cynthia S. W. Crysdale, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
