Abstract

In Atonement, Eleonore Stump develops a novel and compelling Thomistic account of the atonement and argues that Anselmian interpretations must be rejected. In this review essay, after summarizing her account, we raise worries about some aspects of it. First, we respond to her primary objection to Anselmian interpretations by arguing that, contrary to Stump, love does not require unilateral and unconditional forgiveness. Second, we suggest that the heart of Anselmian interpretations—that reconciliation with God requires reparation/restitution/satisfaction—is plausible and well-supported by some of her own arguments. Third, we raise doubts about her views of the role of surrender in justification and the nature of justification itself. Finally, we question whether Stump’s account can successfully explain how the atonement deals with pre-justification sin. A central theme of our comments is that Stump’s Thomistic interpretation can be entwined with Anselmian interpretations to make a stronger account of the atonement.

托马斯主义和安塞尔主义对赎罪的交织解释
在《赎罪》一书中,Eleonore Stump提出了一个新颖而令人信服的托米斯主义赎罪描述,并认为必须拒绝安塞尔的解释。在这篇综述文章中,在总结了她的叙述后,我们对其中的某些方面提出了担忧。首先,我们回应了她对安塞尔曼解释的主要反对意见,认为与Stump相反,爱不需要单方面和无条件的原谅。其次,我们认为,安塞尔曼解释的核心——与上帝和解需要赔偿/归还/满足——是合理的,并得到了她自己一些论点的有力支持。第三,我们对她关于投降在辩护中的作用以及辩护本身的性质的观点表示怀疑。最后,我们质疑Stump的叙述是否能够成功地解释赎罪是如何处理正当理由前的罪的。我们评论的一个中心主题是,Stump的Thomistic解释可以与Anselmian解释交织在一起,以更有力地描述赎罪。
