Lamb of God: Rediscovering the Beauty of Atonement - 6488

Separating our understanding of atonement from its original Jewish roots in the sin offering may well be one of the greatest theological errors in the history of the Christian Church.In Lamb of God you will rediscover what the New Testament authors all knew about the death of Christ and how it shaped their gospel and changed the ancient world. Contrary to modern voices, the New Testament writers had a very robust theology of atonement, and it is clearly evident all across the pages of Scripture.What's more, when viewed from the perspective of the Judaic sin offering, Christ's atonement presents a story of salvation far more wondrous and far more compelling than the popular renditions of the gospel today.You will never look at the cross of Christ the same way again.Table of ContentsPart 1 - A Cleansing Atonement to Rescue Us from SinIntroduction1.

Final AssessmentReview“Two chapters into this book I blurted out a single word, ‘Wow!’ I read a lot of books and that doesn't happen very often. David Takle has succeeded in changing my view of the atonement and explaining the theological foundations of the exchanged life more clearly than I have ever seen it done. I have been raised on the theory that Christ's atonement paid the penalty for my sin and calmed down an angry God. I now see more clearly how this misconception has undergirded a tendency toward legalism that needs to be eradicated from the church and my own way of thinking. Thanks for writing this book!”– Marcus Warner, D.Min., President of Deeper Walk International
