| Résumé: | The Participatory Model of Atonement (PMA) offers an alternative view of Christian salvation, drawing on Pauline theology. It conceives of sin as a contagion which can usually be escaped only by dying. By participating' in Christ's death, the believer can escape its effects without having to die. This notion of participation' is obscure. I consider a possible way of clarifying it using metaphysical ideas taken from Jonathan Edwards. Participation' might involve becoming similar to Christ through the action of the Holy Spirit, to such a degree that a person might be called identical (in some sense) with Christ. |
