Not a bad book. It presents four different models of the atonement (Christus Victor, Penal Substitution, Healing, Kaleidoscopic). It is thought provoking but ultimately the essays are flawed. Gregory Boyd argues passionately for Christus Victor, but from an Openess position. Joel Green argues for the Kaleidoscopic/multiple metaphors model but is antagonistic toward penal substitution. I think there could have been other authors who would better represent this respective positions.
