What is THE ATONEMENT of JESUS CHRIST?
Dr. David Moffitt joins Dr. Botner to discuss his new book, Rethinking the Atonement: New Perspectives on Jesus's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension (Baker Academic, 2023). Moffitt's work on atonement has fundamentally changed the way that many biblical scholars and theologians are thinking about atonement. Whereas traditional "models of atonement" (Christus victor, substitution, moral exemplar, etc.) focus heavily on Jesus's crucifixion, Moffitt emphasizes the importance of Jesus's resurrection, ascension, and ongoing ministry at the right hand God. In short, if you think atonement is all about the death of Jesus, think again!

==============================
Dr. Moffitt is Reader in New Testament at the University of St. Andrews. His work is especially focused on the Epistle to the Hebrews and the strategies the text employs to interpret early Christian claims about Jesus’s person, death, resurrection, and ascension in high-priestly and sacrificial terms. His book on Hebrews (Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews) attempts to show that the Christology and Soteriology developed by the author rests upon his correlation of the basic narrative of early Christian proclamation (i.e., Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and ascension) with the ritual process of the Yom Kippur sacrifices, the end goal of which was the restoration and maintenance of fellowship between God and creation (i.e., atonement). His book Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews was a recipient of a Manfred Lautenschläger Award for Theological Promise (2013).
