Explains the Anglican Theological Review: “The doctrine of atonement in Christian thought is in trouble because its biblical bases are in question, its formulation has become overladen with ephemeral [short - lived] notions..., and its expression in popular spirituality has taken on the form of personal emotionalism and uncritical self - justification. ”
Anglican Theological Review selgitab: „Kristlikus mõttes lepitamise doktriin on hädas seetõttu, et selle piibellik alus on küsitav, selle formuleering on efemeersete [lühiealiste] arusaamadega üle koormatud..., ja selle väljendus on populaarses vaimses mõttes omandanud isikliku emotsionaalsuse ja ebakriitilise eneseõigustuse vormi. ”
