The location of God, theories of atonement and 'redemptive' violence

Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paperChapter

Abstract

This article explores the myth of redemptive violence which undergirds the penal substitutionary theory of atonement. There is a particular concern for the way in which this myth of redemptive violence underlies foreign policies which lead into a doctrine of pre-emptive strikes and the jutsification of torture.
