Pick one of the atonement theories – perhaps one you’ve never heard of – and react to it in the discussion forum. If you are early to the game, try to pick on that has not yet been mentioned. Spend the first part of your post explaining what it is. Then in the second part of your initial post, react to it. What do you think of it? Do you like it or find problems with it?

Make sure your initial post is at least 300 words, and remember to respect the diversity of perspectives and experiences within our community as you engage in this discussion. After making your initial post, read through the responses of your classmates and make at least two follow-up comments on a different day than your original post. These responses should contribute meaningfully to the discussion, whether by asking insightful questions, providing additional examples or perspectives, or challenging ideas respectfully. Each follow-up comment should be at least 100 words. This discussion is worth 25 points.
