A Community Called AtonementOver the centuries the church developed a number of metaphors, such as penal substitution or the ransom theory, to speak about Christ's death on the cross and the theological concept of the atonement.

Over the centuries the church developed a number of metaphors, such as penal substitution or the ransom theory, to speak about Christ's death on the cross and the theological concept of the atonement. Yet too often, says Scot McKnight, Christians have held to the supremacy of one metaphor over against the others, to their detriment. He argues instead that to plumb the rich theological depths of the atonement, we must consider all the metaphors of atonement and ask whether they each serve a larger purpose.

A Community Called Atonement is a constructive theology that not only values the church's atonement metaphors but also asserts that the atonement fundamentally shapes the life of the Christian and of the church. That is, Christ identifies with humans to call us into a community that reflects God's love (the church)--but that community then has the responsibility to offer God's love to others through missional practices of justice and fellowship, living out its life together as the story of God's reconciliation. Scot McKnight thus offers an accessible, thought-provoking theology of atonement that engages the concerns of those in the emerging church conversation and will be of interest to all those in the church and academy who are listening in.

Game changer for clogged pores
Style: New formula!
Game changer for clogged pores and very sensitive, acne prone skin. Saved my rosacea too! Over time, avene products have literally transformed my skin and this was a vital contributor to that.

Great fragrance & texture!
Style: New formula!
I bought this because I loved the spa-like fragrance of the Avene micellar water. This also has a wonderful fragrance and texture, and love the way my skin looks and feels after Inuse it. Thank you for being environmentally conscious and vegan as well.

Super smooth and gentle cleanser
Style: New formula!
I love Avène’s products. This face wash is super gentle and hydrating and I love to use it in the morning to wash my face or at the end of the day when my face feels super dry (otherwise I use the Avène acne cleanser) - it does not leave my skin feel stripped or dehydrated.

Wish there was a fragrance free option
Style: New formula!
Cleanses alright, but the fragrance irritates my skin. It did not get waterproof makeup off right away but did seem the break up SPF. If I could buy it in fragrance free, I would probably repurchase it.

I’ve been using it for years, I’m 64, and my skin looks great.
Style: New formula!
It's moisturizing! It doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils.
