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.

Great...but could be a bit better
Style: 2-Speaker
Almost perfect. Easy to screw apart and insert wires to both the back and to the front, or do what I did and screw the wire onto the back and then use a banana plug for the front. My only complaints are that the back piece sits off the wall a little, so the plate doesn't fit flat and tight against the wall. It leave a little gap around the edges. The other complaint is that the back piece has some flex in it, which makes me nervous when I push plugs into and out of it. I think it probably will hold up fine, but it feels a little oogy to push banana plugs into it and see it flex. Comes with all the hardware needed. Just need a philips screwdriver and wire cutters and you're good to go. Super easy to use, and way better than the spring loaded connections it replaced.

Really good wall plates
Style: 1-Speaker
These plates came on time, packaged well and are "doing the trick". The plates, while fairly light-weight are perfect for my new system. They installed into the junction boxes very easily, hold the wires snugly and the banana plugs are perfect for my usage. If you need a nice, easy to install, good quality, wall plate, I would highly recommend these.
