Contents:
Introduction: Modern Christianity and the "sacrifice of Jesus" Rereading the Hebrew Bible: discovering the sacrificial cult The sacrifice of Jesus: understanding christological atonement metaphors Conclusions: rethinking the "Sacrifice of Jesus".
Summary: The "sacrifice" of Jesus is one of the most central doctrines in Christianity-- and one of the most controversial, especially in contemporary debate (and after the appearance of films such as The Passion of the Christ). The implications of a violent parent and the necessity of innocent suffering are profoundly troubling to many people. Are they nevertheless necessary elements of Christian theology? Christian A. Eberhart makes a decisive contribution to these debates by carefully and clearly examining the Old Testament metaphors of sacrifice and atonement and the ways these metaphors were taken over by early Christians to speak of the significance of Christ. Eberhart shows that these New Testament appropriations have been misunderstood as requiring a logic of necessary violence; rather they speak to larger Christological themes concerning the whole mission and life of Jesus. https://www.amazon.com/Sacrifice-Jesus-Understanding-Atonement-Biblically/dp/0800697383/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780800697389&qid=1593612245&sr=8-1
