Atonement - THE Organizing Principle (NEW)

"I urge you to devote time each week—for the rest of your life—to increase your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ." (President Nelson Oct 2024)

The concept of atonement is so vast that it encompasses a universal totality. If we contemplate it long enough, we begin to see that everything in the gospel, as well as in the physical and social universe, relates to it. In its simplest yet most profound form, the concept of atonement represents the organizing, connecting, and reconciling principle of the universe. 

The author has spent more than ten years researching and refining this message.

The topic of his book, the Atonement, encompasses not only the agony and sacrifice of our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane and then His resurrection some two thousand years ago, but it also includes the full reconciliation of the fallen world back to God. 

Ultimately, the completion of the Atonement occurs when we become one with God. It is both an event and a comprehensive, definitive process of fusion rather than fission.

Atonement - the Organizing Principle is a distinctive message that— 

•    Analyzes the cosmic dimension of the Atonement in a new way combining theology, linguistics, and basic scientific principles.  

•    Explains how the concept of atonement is related to the organizing principle, leading toward universal oneness, wholeness, completeness, and unity. 

•    Describes the mechanism of atonement in a physical sense and how our individual, finite actions are included in the greater process of our Lord’s atonement. 

•    Discusses how unity and the organizing principle can be the basis for a “gospel methodology” bringing all truth together into a unified whole. 

This book introduces a new paradigm for a deeper study of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His ongoing mission to bring all things into one. It will draw you closer to your Lord as you leave a life of fragmentation and enter the Divine reality of oneness, wholeness, and holiness.
