The Fallacy of the Atonement? Can the Doctrine of the Atonement be Supported?

Authors: Richard Michael Blaber

This paper will argue that the Christian doctrine of the Atonement — in all its versions — is probably fallacious, and that, therefore, the idea that the death of Jesus of Nazareth, whenever it took place, relieves either all or some humans of the burden of original sin (assuming there is such a thing) and actual sins cannot be sustained. The whole basis of Christian soteriology — its theology of salvation — is, if this thesis is correct, thereby fatally undermined.
