In western Christian theology, atonement describes how human beings can be reconciled to God through Christ's sacrificial suffering and death. Atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sin in general and original sin in particular through the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus, enabling the reconciliation between God and his creation. Within Christianity there are, historically, three or four main theories for how such atonement might work:* Ransom theory of atonement/Christus Victor (which are different, but generally considered together as Patristic or "classical" theories, to use Gustaf Aulén's nomenclature, it being argued that these were the traditional understandings of the early Church Fathers); * Satisfaction theory of atonement developed by Anselm of Canterbury (called by Aulén the "scholastic" view); * Moral influence theory of atonement, developed by the Enlightenment, which Aulén called the "subjective" or "humanistic" view and considered to have been anticipated—as a critique of the satisfaction view—by Peter Abelard.Other theories include recapitulation theory, the "shared atonement" theory and scapegoat theory. * The English word 'atonement' originally meant "at-one-ment", i.e. being "at one", in harmony, with someone. It is used to describe the saving work that God did through Christ to reconcile the world to himself, and also of the state of a person having been reconciled to God. Throughout the centuries, Christians have used different metaphors and given differing explanations of the atonement to express how the atonement might work. Churches and denominations may vary in which metaphor or explanation they consider most accurately fits into their theological perspective; however all Christians emphasize that Jesus is the Saviour of the world and through his death the sins of humanity have been forgiven. |
