More from Tom Wright:

‘I suggest that early Christian atonement theology derives ultimately not simply from the fact of Jesus’ death together with an interpretation extraneously projected onto the event by the ingenious minds of early Christians, but from Jesus’ death seen, as he saw it himself, as the eschatological act whereby, in accordance with scriptural and postscriptural traditions, but making a new amalgamation of them, Israel’s God had dealt with the state of exile-because-of-sin in which Israel, and the whole world, had languished…’ (p. 104).
