Spectacular Atonement Envisioning the Cross of Christ in an African Perspective

What difference does the cross of Christ make for the People of Africa? Spectacular Atonement explores the togetherness of penal substitution and Christ as Victor. It demonstrates how a biblical worldview of Christ's atoning work on the cross tackles the challenging issues that face many African Christians today and shows how the cross of Christ offers meaning for African Christianity. Through the cross, Africans have a new hope of being reunited with God through Jesus Christ, a hope of liberty, redemption and the rediscovery of the lost gifts of immortality and resurrection spoken about in their legends. This is a unique consideration of the critical impact that the cross of Christ has on the African perspective.
