Salvation As a Mechanical Process: Do Christians Need to Believe that Jesus Died for Their Sins?: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Salvation As a Mechanical Process: Do Christians Need to Believe that Jesus Died for Their Sins?" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
One reason for this teaching is that the development of Newtonian mechanics has led us to believe that Gods laws of salvation must be as easy to understand as the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century laws of our physical world.
This book demonstrates that there are alternatives for understanding Jesus execution that are consistent with the twentieth- and twenty-first-century understanding of our physical world. In fact, the early Christian writers (including the Bible itself) described these alternatives. Sacrifice was only one form of the early Christian narrative explaining the death of Jesus.
Although blood atonement was understandable in ancient Roman culture, it is not understandable in our culture. The inevitable conclusion is that we should abandon blood atonement and develop one of the alternative ways of understanding the cosmic significance of Jesus execution.

I should thank my teachers from long ago, Samuel Laeuchli and Paul Hessert, for giving me the tools with which I might write a book such as this. I am definitely not suggesting that they would support my contentions in this book, but they were both wonderful teachers.
Thanks to good friends Gary Vencill, Warren Lewis, and Adam Bartholomew for reading and critiquing a draft of this book. Again, this is not to say that they agree with me, but they are good enough friends to patiently critique and contend.
And thanks to my wife and daughter who read, commented, and encouraged.
