{"product_id":"9781845501181","title":"Cross Words: The Biblical Doctrine of the Atonement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe post-modern society is so focussed on the internal life of the individual that it makes the significance of the cross a difficult concept to grasp. Even Christians are trying to find alternative ways of explaining it - some have abandoned the concept of atonement entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus, though, is far more than a victim. When God receives and approves the condemned Jesus he transcends the world of oppressor and victim to create a new humanity, capable of new kinds of relationships. Atonement speaks of a transition from brokenness, alienation and the death of love to a place of restoration, healing, and wholeness. A place that holds out hope for deepening friendships and mutual confidence - the exact same things the post-modern mind is lacking, and is looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Focus Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050619814128,"sku":"9781845501181","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845501181_p0.jpg?v=1763744293","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845501181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
