Abstract
Abstract
For various theological, moral and particularly exegetical reasons the interpretation of the death of Jesus as a sacrificial death is nowadays seriously criticized. According to a widely shared opinion salvation takes place ‘in spite of’ the cross of Jesus in stead of ‘due to’ his death on the cross. In this article some of the common objections made against the sacrificial model are discussed, and an attempt is made to reinterpret the concept of the atonement.
