Recensioner

Weaver has an atonement bias, narrative Christus Victor, and he declares it up front. Herein lies the power of this book, because Weaver then, with admirable patience and fair-mindedness, takes up all other arguments and interpretations.

The second part of the book is most interesting. It contains a treetops exploration of atonement from the minds of black, feminist and womanish commentators. Plenty here to rattle one’s taken-for-granted approaches.

A useful critique of the history of atonement motifs. Creatively fuses a singular Biblical vision from the Gospels and the cosmic perspective of the apocalypse.

[back cover] When "Becoming Anabaptist" appeared in 1987, it was the first major study to incorporate the new history of multiple beginnings and a diverse history of Anabaptism into a synthesis of meanings for the contemporary church. J. Denny Weaver's second edition will continue to be welcomed by scholars and by church leaders alike.
