Introduction
The definition of the word “atonement” can be conveniently explained by sounding out its syllables. It means to make two parties “at one” with one another. In biblical language, “atonement” means that there is a problem in the relationship between human beings and God, which is resolved by Jesus. Our Healing Atonement Study Guide will step you through why this issue is so significant. Our 101 material explores the practical implications, often by comparing and contrasting medical vs. penal substitutionary theories of the atonement. You can check out our 5C summary of the Bible: Creation, Corruption, Clinic, Cure, Completion.
