Christian theology was potent in Western society until the nineteenth century, and the so-called \"satisfaction theory\" of the atonement interacted and reacted with penal practice. Gorringe argues that atonement theology created a structure of affect that favored retributive policies. He reviews theory and practice in the twentieth century, and makes concrete proposals for both theology and criminal and societal violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod's Just Vengeance examines the relationship between the theologies of atonement and penal strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 8.42 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 18, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42133318926471,"sku":"9780521557627","price":52.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/88e29e3bd04fc115390e02c24a55a17b.webp?v=1732633325","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/gods-just-vengeance-crime-violence-and-the-rhetoric-of-salvation-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
