Recieved this book through the post this morning. Looks good and has some quality contributors. I'm particuarly looking forward to reading the following chapters;
Ch 2 - Out of the Fog: New Horizons for Atonement Theory - Michael Hardin
Ch 3 - The Reasons for Jesus Crucifixion - N.T.Wright
Ch 8 - The Forgiveness of Sins Hosea 11: 1- 9; Matthew 18:23 - 35 - Rowan Williams
Ch 12 - Forgiveness, reconciliation and Justice - Miroslav Volf
Ch19- Juridical Justification Theology and a Statement of the Orthodox Teaching - Kharalambos Anstall
Ch 20 - Divinization, the Churh and Prophetic Politics in our Post 9-11 World - Ronald S Dart.
The other chapters also look good, but for me the above stand out.
look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book :)

OK, I always resist making comments on books you're reading because I don't know enough about them but I must admit, after you let me have a wee peek, and having read some NTW atonement stuff for DC, I'm intrigued. I really want to read the vineyard guy's thoughts too. Vineyard had a tremendous influence on me in the 80s but now that I'm grown up I realise I don't really know what their atonement views are as a denomination (mind you, do we have one, as Baptists!?!?!)
