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.
