With this question in mind, this work reexamines the images and concepts of Christian doctrinal tradition which - under the rubric of the «doctrine of the atonement» - have historically promoted this experience. The extended constructive essay which concludes the book makes extensive and foundational - though not uncritical - use of Whiteheadian process-relational thought to provide new ontological grounding to Christian images and concepts of atonement. %G English
