What did the cross achieve? This deceptively simple question has beguiled theologians for millennia. On the one hand, sometimes the answer to this question has resulted in a misguided notion that there is a singular interpretation that dominates all others. On the other hand, there is at times a rejection of any model as sufficiently explanatory, effectively muting the preaching of the cross.
In an attempt to answer this question, write a 4-page position paper on how best to understand the work of Christ on the cross. To be sure, any analysis of the cross will necessarily acknowledge aspects of the whole complex of Christ’s soteriological work (his life, death, resurrection, ascension, session, etc.), yet remain focused on the cross in particular. Reference to classic “theories of atonement” is encouraged, and demonstrate your position using evidence drawn from the Scriptures, the tradition of the church, and primary sources from various schools of thought on the atonement.
