In his 2011 groundbreaking book \u003ci\u003eAtonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews\u003c\/i\u003e, David Moffitt challenged that paradigm, showing how the atonement is a fuller process. It involves not only Jesus's death but also his resurrection, ascension, offering, and exaltation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the succeeding years, Moffitt has continued to expand and clarify his thinking on this issue. This book offers a more fulsome articulation of his work on the atonement that reflects his recent thinking on the topic. Moffitt continues to challenge reductive views of the atonement, primarily from the book of Hebrews, but he engages other New Testament passages as well. He offers fresh insights on sacrifice and atonement, the importance of resurrection and ascension, Jesus's role as priest, and a new perspective on Hebrews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book brings Moffitt's award-winning and influential scholarship to a broader audience.
