I am a theologian who focuses on the doctrine of the atonement, exploring the many ways in which the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ effect the reconciliation of all things to God.

In addition to biblical, theological and historical explorations of the atonement, I also enjoy exploring the contribution of literature and other fields to the topic.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Torrey Honors Institute at Biola University in La Mirada, CA.

My wife, Katrina, and I have been married 12 years, and have three sons. We love camping and exploring America's National Parks. ...more

Learning to apply the material to new situations or topics. I find over and over again that I think I have something figure out, but as I put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, that feeling vanishes as I type, and the process of writing is in fact the process of learning.(less)

And before I had that, I had to dive into my field (the doctrine of the atonement), becoming as well versed in the classical sources and contemporary debates as I could possibly be. Eventually, I found that I had something to say, and writing came easily - but only then.(less)

Quotes by Adam J. Johnson (?)

“The task of the Church, I suggest, is not to determine which is the theory of the atonement, or which theory of the atonement has pride of place among others. Rather, following Thomas (who stands clearly in line with the majority position of the history of theology), we ought to witness to the fittingness of the atonement: to demonstrate how the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ brings together a wide array of benefits for the sake of the reconciliation of all things to God, that we might have as full an understanding as possible of the work God accomplished in Christ.”
― Adam J. Johnson, Atonement: A Guide for the Perplexed
