Last updated on: December 8, 2022 at 3:39 am By Brad Vaughn

Last updated on: October 9, 2022 at 12:38 am By Brad Vaughn

In The Cross in Context: Reconsidering Biblical Metaphors for Atonement, I divide the chapters into three major parts.[1] The Contexts of Biblical Atonement Section one has five chapters.
