Subject: Can there be a doctine of atonement ? |
Bible Note: Hank, Both major Catholic bibles (NAB, RSVCE) use expiation in Romans 3.25. Here's a footnote to the NAB (online bible) on the choice: 8 [25] Expiation: this rendering is preferable to "propitiation," which suggests hostility on the part of God toward sinners. As Paul will be at pains to point out (Romans 5:8-10), it is humanity that is hostile to God. I lean towards expiation in this matter. Whither leanest thou? Colin |
