The Death of the Messiah and the Birth of the New Covenant

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of atonement, Michael Gorman critiques existing models for neglecting the "new-covenant" perspective, which he posits as foundational to early Christian thought. He emphasizes that many interpretations focus too heavily on the mechanics of Jesus' death rather than its ultimate goal: fostering a transformed, Spirit-filled community. Gorman highlights the coherence among New Testament metaphors, presenting Jesus' death as the fulfillment of prophetic promises and the establishment of a covenant of peace that shapes a new community of believers.
