Exploring the concept of atonement, Michael Gorman critiques existing models for neglecting the transformative purpose behind Jesus' death. He posits that the "new-covenant" model, potentially the earliest in Christian thought, emphasizes the creation of a Spirit-filled community rather than merely the mechanics of atonement. Gorman highlights the coherence of New Testament metaphors, presenting Jesus' death as the fulfillment of prophetic promises and the establishment of a covenant of peace, thereby reshaping the understanding of Christian community and identity.
