Do atonement theologies that focus on Jesus&apos; death underwrite human violence? If so, we do well to rethink beliefs that this death is necessary to bring salvation. Focusing on the Bible&apos;s salvation story, Instead of Atonement argues for a logic of mercy to replace Christianity&apos;s traditional logic of retribution. <br/> The book traces the Bible&apos;s main salvation story through God&apos;s liberating acts, the testimony of the prophets, and Jesus&apos;s life and teaching. It then takes a closer look at Jesus&apos;s death and argues that his death gains its meaning when it exposes violence in the cultural, religious, and political Powers. God&apos;s raising of Jesus completes the story and vindicates Jesus&apos;s life and teaching. <br/> The book also examines the understandings of salvation in Romans and Revelation that reinforce the message that salvation is a gift of God and that Jesus&apos;s «work» has to do with his faithful life, his resistance to the Powers, and God&apos;s vindication of him through resurrection. <br/> The book concludes that the «Bible&apos;s salvation story» provides a different way, instead of atonement, to understand salvation. In turn, this biblical understanding gives us today theological resources for a mercy-oriented approach to responding to wrongdoing, one that follows God&apos;s own model.
