books on the atonement
readers, what books do you recommend on the atonement? I'm looking for books that treat and honor penal substitution while incorporating learnings from the other theories?
thanks.

just found your blog via your comment dj chuang's site. i would recommend "The Cross of Christ" by John Stott as a great holistic treatment of the atonement.
I re-read it every couple of years.
thanks guys - I have green and baker's book and just ordered today stott's book!
Shirley Guthrie has a great chapter on the atonement in his book, Christian Doctrine. You may also want to look at Daniel L. Migliore's book, Faith Seeking Understanding. Both books are surveys of Christian doctrine, so they treat other matters besides atonement.
Free of Charge, M Volf, on inclusionary substitutionary atontement, best thoughts on it I have ever read.
I vote for Migliores book as well. Great stuff! Stott is good, but gets a bit too dogmatic for me. i like Migliore becase he presents the alternatives and traces them to what theology they produce, he doesn´rt really give afinal answer either but makes you think.
