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. Yet too often, says Scot McKnight, Christians have held to the supremacy of one metaphor over against the others, to their detriment.

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.

Great chew toy
The bam bone is definitely a great choice for a dog that loves to chew whenever I hand my dog one of these he just gets excited and then he’ll just chew on it for at least 1520 minutes at the beginning and then it will last him for at least good three weeks to a month before I need to get him another one that’s why I definitely like the two pack

Small chewer dog friendly...2 in package..Funx2
Shiba pup LOVES these. We play fetch in the back yard with one and the other is to gnaw on rather than my couch inside!! He is a super super duper chewer and really enjoying his new teeth so much that he's gnawed past the brown of the stick to white plastic so I had to take 1 away. It's a smaller stick 6-8 inches so I do worry about him walking or running while playing fetch and falling (new feet too!!) and hurt his mouth or throat. I will definitely be replacing it at least 1x while he's small but I wouldn't recommend this item to a big dog with big teeth.

The best small dog chew stick ever
I've bought these several times and given them out to friends. These last a lot longer than the rawhide chews. Our poodles love them; over the past year, they are the go-to toy. My daughter and son-in-law's Dalmatian, who went through a moose antler in two days, still has one of these in decent shape after two months.

Great item for aggressive chewer
My dog is an aggressive chewer. He loves these! I had hoped it would stop him from chewing sticks and branches but it didn’t!
