About this video
Runtime: 9 minsN T Wright discusses the current atonement debate. The cross, central to Christianity, has been controversial due to its profound significance. Misinterpretations and attacks are common distractions from its true meaning. Similarly, the Eucharist, closely linked to the cross, has faced similar contention. Some interpret the cross as legitimizing violence, a view the author disputes, emphasizing that the cross signifies the ultimate defeat of evil and violence. The author supports the Christus Victor motif and believes all atonement theories contribute to understanding the cross. Criticizing some modern interpretations, he stresses the importance of reading the Gospels thoroughly to grasp the cross's full theological implications.
