You are to research and write a paper on some aspect of Christology (Incarnation, Atonement, ascension, etc.).
-The topic of Christology I have chosen to discuss relates to atonement. I have already
prepared a thesis statement for a separate assignment that is attached below:
Atonement
is the path through which human beings can be reconciled to God by means of
Christ’s sacrifice, suffering, and death. In other words, atonement is the
process through which God forgives man’s original sin, enabling the
reconciliation between God and the creation. Thus, atonement is central to the
idea of the very meaning and function of God’s nature. We can look at the
concept of atonement by analyzing two main questions. The first one inquiries
why man needed to have his sins forgiven. The second questions why God was the
only possibility for man to seek forgiveness. Through a deeper look at the holy
scriptures and some of the most prominent thinkers in the history of
Christianity, we can demonstrate how man is destined to death because of original
sin and how because of God’s free acceptance to die on the cross for us.
