Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " ... A broad contingent of critical scholarship has concluded that nowhere in Luke-Acts is Christ's death presented as an atonement for sin. ... When all the data is considered, the death of Christ is given greater direct soteriological significance in the Lukan writings than scholarship generally acknowledges. Specifically, Luke presents the death of Jesus as an atoning death that brings about the forgiveness of sins."--Page 1-3
