Abstract
“The dark mystery, the holy secret of the atonement must always serve as a caution and reminder to the theologian. The atoning death of Jesus Christ will not be reduced to a formula of scholars or a possession of the church. The tragic elements of the story, the inescapable judgment on human self-deception, and the mysterious salvific impact of the atonement must never be muted or dimmed in the legitimate interest of theological clarity and precision.”

C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces
