The atoning death of Jesus Christ will not be reduced to a formula of scholars or a possession of the church. The tragic elements of the story, the inescapable judgment on human self-deception, and the mysterious salvific impact of the atonement must never be muted or dimmed in the legitimate interest of theological clarity and precision.”“Why must holy places be dark places?”C. S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces |
