Eleonore Stump's Atonement is a sustained and mature reflection on the doctrine by a major scholar, based on a career-long reflection upon the meaning of Christ's death and resurrection. She attempts to rethink the doctrine, drawing on Thomas Aquinas to formulate an account of Christ's life, passion, and death, which brings about a psychic or empathic unity between God and human beings. In this essay, I explore historical, biblical, and theological problems with her thesis that prevent it from offering a successful doctrine of the atonement according to her criteria.
