Popis: Many theologians have recently argued that atonement theories related to theAnselmian tradition introduce violent conflict into the very nature of God, whicheffectively destroys God’s unity—a unity that is self-giving love. I contend thattheologians searching for resources for articulating a nonviolent approach could use the work of Anthony Bartlett articulated in the book _Cross Purposes: The ViolentGrammar of Christian Atonement_. In this article, I attempt to explain how Bartlett’s paradigm offers a compelling approach to a non-violent atonement.
