Atonement

I have been reading Atonement for a "Sinless" Society for a while now. The book contains some marvelous insights into current culture and how to make the atonement relevant. For the rest of this week, and however long it takes, I will be reproducing short quotes from the book.

“We are not called to rest on our laurels, to speak of, discuss and implement the theologies of our forebears as if they are determinative fro all contexts everywhere. Rather, we are to be a community out of which ever-new expressions of our faith can emerge. This is a wonderfully creative process, but it is also a risky one.”—Atonement for a "Sinless" Societyp. 3-4
