During the past month there have been a number of posts done on the atonement. Some of them dealing with issues concerning the doctrine of limited atonement or , others concerning N.T. Wright and Steve Chalke on the atonement. I’ve decided to create a post that compiles all the links. Hopefully this will help serve as a centerpiece for those who want to learn more. Please let me know if I have missed any important links.
