Extra category?

Extra category?

That would be very helpful.
I think joeblow’s categories are really useful. My only concern is that we create an excellent Biblical-historical-theological trajectory, but omit both a) to contextualise our language and concepts and b) to apply critique from contemporary experience.

Maybe we could include a thread that allows us to deconstruct some of the atonement concepts (although we have done quite a bit of that here already). My reasoning is that an emerging theology of the atonement will need to be aware of current sore-spots and negative language triggers so that we articulate what we find from the Biblical-historical-theological trajectory sensitively to our current context.

I hope that makes sense.
