Five Views on the Extent of the Atonement (Counterpoints Series)$29.99
In addition to the Reformed and Wesleyan views that are typically represented in this debate, this book also gives voice to the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Universalist views. The interactions between the views shows that the dispute over the extent of the atonement involves quite a number of related issues, such as the question of what the atonement consists in, the character of God, the role of the Trinity, etc. Readers who come to this book for a survey of the debate will find exposure to a wide range of views; those who already have particular leanings on the issue might find that more is involved in this debate than initially thought.
