Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
I Thessalonians 5:19
November opens the door to a special season. A time for family and friends to give thanks to God. On this special day, our family spends time around the table sharing the blessings of each life. Our thanks may include new homes, jobs, and good health, but the sharing centers mostly on relationships. We are thankful for our relationship with God and the people He puts in our lives to nurture and love. These are the good things of life.
First Thessalonians tells us to "give thanks in all circumstances." That means even the bad, hopeless and uncertain circumstances in which we find ourselves.
Imagine sitting around the table with no turkey, no dressing, no home, no family. The table is a cardboard box, adorned with a yellow weed from the curb. Carefully set out are leftovers from a neighboring garbage can. So grateful for this bounty, the recipient bows his head to thank God. What a scene. And it isn't even Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if I could give thanks in that situation. But sometimes removing all the distractions are just what we need to understand the hand of God on our lives.
We are a blessed country, blinded by our bounty. In many circumstances less really is more.
In I Samuel we find the story of Hannah, who cannot have children. She is one of two wives. The other wife has many children and taunts her mercilessly. Distraught, Hannah goes to the Temple to beseech God for a child of her own—one she would dedicate right back to Him. First Samuel 1:11 says she vowed to do this and indeed left him at the temple to serve God all the days of his life. Wow, I don't know if I could do that either. After waiting so long for a child, to then give him up is a real sacrifice. But Hannah fully trusted and praised God and honored Him with her firstborn. Her son became the Prophet Samuel who anointed David to be King. God opened Hannah's womb and blessed her with several other sons and daughters. Although her circumstances were hopeless, she leaned on God in full trust for the outcome.
That is the heart of Thanksgiving, that in all circumstances we give thanks to God. Although we do not know the timing or result, we thank God for the journey. Every day is a time to thank God, even in the difficult situations. It is through trials that we come to appreciate life and see God's hand of blessing.
We are capable of handling far more than we think we can endure. Trust God.
Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Elon Musk asks Twitter users if Donald Trump should be reinstated – Times of India
"Reinstate former President Trump," the billionaire Twitter owner posted, with a chance to vote either yes or no.
Reinstate former President Trump
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 1668818865000
At 01:45 GMT, 59.6 percent of the nearly two million responses were in favor of a return of the former president, who was banned from Twitter for his role in last year's attack on the US Capitol by a mob seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
There was no indication that the mercurial boss of Space-X and Tesla would adhere to the results of the ad hoc poll.
But on Friday, he also posted a Latin adage suggesting that the decision would be up to Twitter users: "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" ("The voice of the people is the voice of God").
He has done similar polls in the past, asking followers last year if he should sell stock in his electric car company Tesla. Following that poll, he sold more than $1 billion in shares.
Trump, who reveled in using Twitter as a mouthpiece, was followed by more than 88 million users.
He has said he will not return to the popular platform but would instead remain on his own network, Truth Social, launched after he was banned from Twitter.

Choosing SSL Certificates
If you operate an eCommerce website or one that stores confidential or sensitive information, you'll probably want to pay extra attention to the way you protect your users.
In most cases, that includes applying a Secure Socket Layer Certificate (a.k.a. SSL cert or even just "cert") to encrypt the data as it travels between systems and to provide visual cues to your users that you're taking steps to protect their data. In this post, I'll discuss the types of SSL certificates and why you would choose one over another.
All SSL Certificates Have Core Traits
At its core, SSL provides encryption that makes it difficult for intruders to capture data as it moves along the network. It's likely that your first websites didn't require SSL; but the minute a social security number, credit card number or similar sensitive data is involved, SSL is a key component of your web security strategy.
Choosing an SLL certificate is not as straightforward as we'd like it to be, though, because there are options that you need to navigate; and there are other issues beyond the simple protection of data that make one choice better than another.
Let's start with a simple SSL certificate. The browser requests a secure page (which has https:// instead of http://), and when the request comes back, it includes a public key. The browser checks that key to make sure it's valid and from a trusted party before sending secure data back to the web server. (I've dumbed it down for this description; so forgive the lack of other details that are not pertinent to the rest of our discussion.)
Basic Domain Validation SSL Certificates
The simplest of all SSL certs is a Domain Validation (DV) cert. The only thing that it validates is that you own the domain, but not that you are who you say you are. These are typically the least expensive SSL certificates and often provide a lower level of encryption (typically 256-bit to 1024-bit encryption) than more expensive certs. Use them for basic protection where your applications aren't the type that risk phishing or fraud.
That simple certificate will run on a single domain, and it also indicates to the attentive user that his information is being protected because it shows the https in the URL. GeoTrust QuickSSL and RapidSSL are examples of DV SSL certificates, and are purchased for a specific number of years, with the price increasing based on longer terms.
Organization Validation SSL Certificates
A higher level of security is provided by Organization Validation (OV) SSL certs, because they also validate your business identity and they are encrypted at a higher level (typically 2048-bit). OV SSL certs are more expensive than DV certs and they take several days to get issued, so the certificate authority from who you're purchasing the cert has time to verify your business before issuing the cert. You'll need to provide business documents to that authority to get the cert issued.
OV certs are more suitable for shopping cart applications than DV certs, but still don't provide clear visual clues for your users – although attentive or savvy users will notice https in the URL.
Extended Validation SSL Certificates
That's where Extended Validation (EV) SSL certs come in. When an EV cert is applied to your web page, the user sees a green background behind the URL in his browser's address bar, and it will identify the authority that issued the cert. This increases the level of trust of your users and decreases the likelihood of phishing scams or fraud. Some SSL providers also add benefits to EV certs, such as malware scans and warranties.
EV SSL certificates are significantly more pricy than DV or OV certificates – but are worth the extra dollars for high use ecommerce, banking or similar sites where protection is not enough. Use them when you need to ensure that your users know your site is protected. (To show that you're protected by SSL, you can also prominently display the badges of the issuing authority for any cert, not just EV certs.)
SSL for Multiple Domains
Many organizations need SSL for multiple domains. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an SSL certificate for each domain. That also allows you to choose different types of SSL to meet your needs for each domain separately. Some issuing authorities allow you to purchase a single cert for multiple domains (say 5 or 50). This streamlines the renewal process, but doesn't allow you to apply different types of SSL for each domain. (Typically at renewal, you'll need to reapply each cert to your systems. Although not terribly complex, it's more than a few minute job. So the renewal process simplification could be relevant if you have many domains.)
Wildcard SSL Certificates
Wildcard certificates are a good choice if you have subdomains that you want to protect using SSL. While a standard SSL certificate will protect a domain, it generally cannot be applied to multiple subdomains. You'd need to choose one; or you'd have to buy multiple certificates. A Wildcard domain alleviates that problem. Apply it to the main domain, and it automatically gets applied to the subdomains.
When I was setting up fundraising stores for schools & PTAs around the USA, I needed to be able to protect thousands of different subdomains – because each school was to have its own store, and we were setting each store up as a subdomain of the main URL. We couldn't use a multiple domain cert, because we didn't know what the subdomains would be until each school registered its own store in our system. So we used a wildcard cert on our main domain. Each time a new subdomain was registered by a school or PTA, the domain automatically inherited SSL protection from the main domain. This saved a lot of cost, and simplified our ongoing activities.
Summing It Up
SSL is a useful, and often required, technology for your website. When it's time to purchase and apply your SSL certificate, make your choice of certificate based on the following factors, as described above:
- Encryption level (256-bit to 2048-bit encryption)
- Validation level (domain ownership, corporate verification)
- Conspicuousness to the user
- Configuration needs across domains
- Renewal term
- Price

Under the auspices of the Computational Complexity Foundation (CCF)
Would physical laws permit the construction of computing machines
that are capable of solving some problems much faster than the
standard computational model? Recent evidence suggests that this
might be the case in the quantum world. But the question is of
great interest even in the realm of classical physics. In this
paper, we observe that there is fundamental tension between the
Extended Church-Turing Thesis and the existence of numerous
seemingly intractable computational problems arising from
classical physics. Efforts to resolve this incompatibility could
both advance our knowledge of the theory of computation, as well
as serve the needs of scientific computing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
As a female seeking rehab treatment, you may run across the term "dialectical behavior therapy" or DBT. However, what is DBT and how can it help you achieve lasting recovery? Where do you gain addiction treatment therapies and the other addiction treatment programs you need? Are there other therapies you need, in addition to DBT?
In a nutshell, dialectical behavior therapy is just one of many therapies you have access to in women's rehab. This therapy is a type of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). CBT vs. DBT, DBT focuses on your problem-solving skills and acceptance of your needs, so you better achieve goals and healthy balance in your life. Together, DBT and other therapies help you work toward a strong, lasting recovery.
Dialectical behavior therapy gives you great promise for your future. This therapy lays the foundation for meeting your life goals. For example, you use skills gained through DBT to understand your needs and accept them. You also start rebuilding your life through this helpful therapy process.
DBT takes place in individual counseling and group therapy. In individual counseling for DBT, you work one-on-one with your dedicated therapist. You dig deep into the therapy in ways best suited for your recovery. In the group setting, you gain an understanding of DBT concepts and learn skills to apply throughout your relationships with loved ones.
DBT includes a focus on your strengths and capabilities. You learn to manage your emotions as well as your behaviors. Also, you learn mindfulness for applying that skill in all areas of your daily life. You even gain interpersonal skills and learn how to accept times or sources of distress, to tolerate other people and situations better.
One of the best benefits from DBT is learning how to have difficult discussions without becoming emotional. You learn to see things more clearly as well as communicate better with others. This works well throughout your life. You then gain immediate benefit in school, work, community, and home settings.
In DBT, you focus on your problem areas. This means you gain help for the issues that pop up in your behaviors time and time again. Your unique treatment plan starts with the most significant behavioral problems you face and meeting those urgent needs first.
One therapist will not always know every answer for the hurdles you face. For your dialectical behavior therapy, your therapist sometimes works together with other counselors treating you in rehab. They cooperate and exchange information to help you reach your goals.
DBT was born from the need to help people like you work toward recovery. In the past, addiction treatment left many people feeling overwhelmed by too much quick change. They started feeling that all of the changes meant they had no positive skills, beliefs, or behaviors. You can easily understand how someone feeling everything they do is wrong makes them also feel beaten down and overwhelmed.
Now, therapists help you grow and change with DBT and without making you feel every facet of your life is "bad." This prevents you from feeling overwhelmed and angry, as people in rehab once did. You gain more warmth and positivity from your treatment instead of feeling like you can only screw up.
You have many talents, positive attributes, and healthy aspects in your life. However, you just need better skills and clarity. You need to see your positive qualities and accept some of your negative ones so that you can create goals for growth and change.
DBT mixes well with all of your therapies and recovery needs in rehab. Of course, for your best wellness and lasting recovery, you need a mix of treatment methods. These include:
At Soledad House in San Diego, women just like you gain the female-specific and focused rehab necessary for strong, lasting recovery. This recovery includes dialectical behavior therapy, CBT, as well as other therapies. Call Soledad House now at 866.314.3222 for more information about available programs.

UPDATE: In a press release received via email, Yen Press confirms that volume 12 will be titled The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya and is scheduled to release in the west the same day as the Japanese version- November 25th. We have adjusted the release date in the original article accordingly.
Original Story:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya returns, since the last light novel in the series was published over nine years ago.
Dengeki Online reported that Kadokawa would be publishing volume 12 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya later this year. Volume 11 of the series was published back in May 2011, making it over nine years since the last volume.
Originally a light novel series by Nagaru Tanigawa in 2003, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has gone on to become a fully fledged multimedia franchise with manga, multiple anime series, and video games. The 2006 anime series brought the series into the mainstream among overseas fans and led to release of the 2010 The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
The 2006 anime series starred Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuko Goto as Mikuru Asahina, and Chihara Minori as Yuki Nagato. The series was animated by Kyoto Animation who last year were the victims of a deadly arson attack.
The light novel series is licensed and published in the west by Yen Press. You can read a synopsis of the series from Yen Press below.
"Welcome Japan's hottest property and the international phenomenon known as Haruhism!

Hornets' Miles Bridges arrested for felony domestic violence
from Hoops Rumors, with Rory Maher, and from www.yardbarker.com/YardBarker.com
Miles Bridges, who's set to hit restricted free agency after the Hornets tendered him a qualifying offer, was arrested on felony domestic violence charges in Los Angeles on Wednesday, according to TMZ Sports.
Bridges was allegedly involved in an argument with a woman that turned into a physical altercation, per TMZ. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the woman needed medical attention after the alleged altercation.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, with Bridges initially leaving the scene and later turning himself into the police on Wednesday, at which point he was arrested. His bail was set at $130K and he's since been released, TMZ reports.
First and foremost, hopefully the alleged victim is okay and nothing serious happened to her.
It's unclear if Bridges' legal status will impact his upcoming contract situation, but obviously the allegations and charges are quite serious and the timing could not have been worse. Certainly teams that may have been mulling a large offer sheet might think twice about doing so in light of his alleged behavior.
Bridges, 24, was expected to land one of the biggest paydays in free agency after a breakout fourth season saw him average career-highs in several categories, including points (20.2), rebounds (7.0) and assists (3.8). He appeared in 80 games (35.5 minutes per night) last season, all starts.

You will need
- Knife, bag, hammer, two plates.
Soak the unshelled walnuts walnut in hot water. This will help to soften the shell and internal partitions. So the walnut will be easier to access. Wait for thirty minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a knife and two plates. One for peeled walnuts, one for the shell and partitions. Cleaned walnut walnut hand - a long process. You can combine it with your favorite movies.
Gently insert the knife into the opening between the shells of the nuta and turn. If you stick the knife too deep, rotate it will be more difficult. Don't overdo it. The nut should split in half. Remove the baffles, clean the nut with small shells.
To speed up the process, you can use another way. Fold the nuts in a plastic bag. The package spread on a hard surface which will not suffer from hammer blows. Gently tap each walnut through the bag. Vysypite contents of the package on the table and go through the nut. In this case, you will cope with the cleaning of the nutand faster. But beautiful shape when walnut walnut, carefully broken in half, achieve will not work.
There are also a number of tools for splitting a nuts: nutcrackers, nutokay and other fancy tools. They are all simple to operate and is based on the same principle.
Children often crack the nut in the doorway. It's not safe and can damage the door frame.
Useful advice
Use walnut walls to create medicinal tinctures.

Koken, whilst not mature yet, is developing to be a very good choice for a CMS for artists and photographers, not least because of the excellent responsive performance for displaying pictures.
However, at the moment, it does not natively provide a contact form.
We can recommend starting from that which Jürgen Mackiol has kindly made available via his site.
You will probably want to make some tweeks to improve the appearance of the form (Jürgen has given the idea, not the actual appearance of the one he created). Also, note that eregi, which is used in webmailer.php, is deprecated so the eregi needs to be replaced with preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+$/"

After years of research and planning, Friends of Vancouver Lake orchestrated an important step toward greater accessibility for the lake this week.
Treatment of an invasive Eurasian water milfoil weed infestation in Vancouver Lake began Tuesday. It is expected to last another day or two.
The infestation can be a nuisance to rowers, and it also gets tangled in boat motors, around hunting dogs who get in the lake and even around swimmers.
According to a Friends of Vancouver Lake press release, Eurasian water milfoil is a "class B noxious weed in Washington, and requires mandatory control." The milfoil is spread by fragmentation — such as when people pull or rip the milfoil off of things it gets tangled around.
If untreated, the milfoil can alter the ecosystem of the lake and threaten lake users, animals and native species of plants and aquatic life.
Aquatechnex, based in Bellingham with offices along the West Coast, had workers steer boats around the lake Tuesday, injecting the herbicide ProcellaCOR to treat the infestation.
"It's a great day for Vancouver Lake," said Larry Cassidy, co-chair for the advocacy group Friends of Vancouver Lake. "This will make the lake free of milfoil for an extended period of time."
The milfoil was first identified in spring 2018 by lake users, according to the group, which also said in a press release that if the milfoil wasn't treated, it could overtake the lake by 2021.
Friends of Vancouver Lake formed in late 2018 to develop a response effort to the milfoil. Last year, the group missed its window to treat the infestation, but the milfoil is vigorously growing now, which makes it most vulnerable to systemic treatment.
The herbicide has been approved by the state Department of Ecology and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a reduced-risk herbicide to human or environmental health, Cassidy said. It will not harm people recreating in the lake, he said.
The treatment is expected to cost $150,000 or more, according to the press release. Friends of Vancouver Lake raised money for the project through hundreds of donations from citizens as well as larger donations from the Firstenburg Foundation and the Ed and Dollie Lynch Foundation. Clark County and the Port of Vancouver also chipped in funding.
"This is a real community win," said Kathy Gillespie, co-chair for Friends of Vancouver Lake. "It felt like somebody had the lake's back this morning."
Friends of Vancouver Lake, the state Department of Ecology, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and Clark County Weed Control will continue to monitor the treatment's effectiveness going forward, Gillespie said.
Future management and treatment will happen through Clark County's new Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan. Friends of Vancouver Lake will continue to examine ways to improve the lake and make it more accessible moving forward.
"We want people to think of the lake as a place that not only has value, but as a place they want to experience," Gillespie said. "We'll be asking for the community's support in the future, and we know they will be there again."

Blog :: Atonement Theology
I've been interested in the Atonement for a long time. Basic to Christian belief is the idea that because Christ died, my sins are forgiven and I am reconciled to God. How exactly this occurs is not spelled out - and the New Testament uses different metaphors to describe the work of atonement.
Most modern evangelical thought has tended to emphasis just one of these metaphors. For many evangelical Christians atonement = Penal Substitution. The famous Four Spiritual Laws tract explains that sin separates man from God and "... that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins."
This is the Judicial metaphor and it is usually tightly connected to the concept of Justification: sin is transgression of God's moral law, God as Judge demands the penalty of death (Romans 6:23 the wages of sin is death) and Jesus offers his own death as satisfaction of the penalty guilty humanity owes. God as Judge than dismisses the charges against us since the penalty has been paid in full.
I didn't grow up opposed to the idea of Penal Substitution, it just always seemed ... insufficient. If Penal Substitution is the wholly sufficient explanation for our atonement and justification, what are we to do with Scriptures like
Hebrews 2:14-15
14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Colossians 2:13
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Clearly these passages are not using the sort of language that fits into a judicial model. But I didn't know exactly what to make of them until I bumped into the term Christus Victor. Thanks to an article by Derek Flood at sharktacos.com (very highly recommended) I began to have a vocabulary to identify the drama described in Scriptures where the Atonement is the victory of Jesus through his death and resurrection over the powers that oppress us and keep us separated from God. Christ the Victor!
The result for me of identifying the Christus Victor model in the New Testament hasn't been to challenge the Penal Substitution model as much as to emphasize the mystery at the heart of the atonement cannot be neatly packaged - the New Testament has a variety of models and metaphors to describe the atonement and each has it's contributions to make to our understanding and experience of the Christian life. I've several times done a "multiple metaphors of the atonement" style class or Biblestudy - looking at the Priestly/Sacrificicial, Financial/Ransom, Juridical/Justification, and Military/Victory metaphors for the atonement. But recent reading has left me wondering if perhaps the language we use to understand the atonement plays a decisive more role in determining our life in Christ.
I recently got around to reading Christus Victor - the 1931 work by Gustaf Aulen who coined the term. Christus Victor is basically a polemic survey of the various theological takes on the atonement with the assertion that the chief view of the atonement in the New Testament and Patristic writings has been lost since Anselm and Abelard and we've been left with the "objective" and "subjective" theories of atonement presented as the only choices. (briefly: "objective" atonement sees the passion as directed towards God; Penal Substitution or Satisfaction falls under this rubric. "Subjective" theories tend to see the atonement as aimed at humanity; the "Moral Influence" theory of atonement which sees Jesus sinless death as example of God's love to us. Presented with those two choices, of course, evangelicals rightly tend to gravitate towards the Objective theories. Aulen thinks this is a false choice and calls the narrative/dramatic account of victory over opposing powers to earn humanity's freedom from sin, death and hell the "Classic Theory" of atonement.)
I can't do justice to Aulen's arguments in this space (and really - if you're interested you should just go read the essay at sharktacos). Most interesting to me, however, were the observations that over and against Penal Substitution, Christus Victor takes into account the enemy (Satisfaction, for instance, needs no devil; God is sinned against, God demands Payment for sin), the incarnation and Jesus life of obedience, and the resurrection itself which is the capstone of Christ's Victory but seems somewhat inessential (besides being a note of Divine approval) in most atonement theology. It also suceeds in capturing the ambivalent nature of the operation of the Law in Scripture - blessed because it is true but ultimately against us and our opponent (among the powers defeated by Christ) because it cannot lead us into fellowship with God. Penal Substitution, despite being strongly associated with the reformation takes a legalistic view in which the Law's demands are immutable and cannot be broken - God will not forgive us without satisfying the demands of the Law. I have always wondered what the Penal Substitutionary model makes of Jesus' profligacy in forgiveness of sins. To the paralytic, the woman caught in adultery, the prostitute who washed Jesus feet with her tears, the thief on cross - Jesus extends forgiveness of sins without worrying about the demands of the Law.
Aulen also takes an interesting tour from the Patristic Fathers, through Medieval commentators and onto the Reformation, arguing most interestingly that Luther's atonement theory was mostly of the "Classic" type though largely misunderstood by his contemporaries and heirs. The historical treatment was mostly new to me (I haven't read much Anselm or Abelard. or Luther, for that matter) and a fairly convincing explanation of how penal substitution grew out of a medieval legal backdrop (concepts like penance and indulgences fit right into the western concept of justice).
Fresh on the heels of Christus Victor I got around to reading a gift from my sister-in-law: Joel B. Green and Mark Baker's Recovering the Scandal of the Cross (Joel is one of her Professors at Fuller). Recovering the Scandal... is a little less straightforward - in part it is also a critique of the dominant Penal Substitution model but it's purpose is not so much to replace it with another model as it is to emphasise the necessity and desirability of having multiple models for the atonement.
Green & Baker also provide a historical tour of atonement theology that covers some of the same ground. They review the language of the New Testament in regards to salvation and atonement and agree with Aulen that the Christus Victor best characterizes the Patristic writings (with a few variations). They also cover Anselm and Abelard and use Princeton Seminarian Charles Hodges as an expounder of Penal Substitution from the 20th century. Most interestingly, however, they move from a critique of existing models to relating several attempts at contextualizing the Good News of Christ's atoning work in models that communicate to a particular.
The Penal Substitution Model makes assumptions about the concepts of justice, punishment, guilt, and satisfaction that are only coherent within western cultural understandings. In Japan, for example, the judiciary operates under a shame/alienation framework that seems strange to western minds. Justice, in the west, is exemplified by the blind (and therefore impartial) goddess Justicia with scales and sword in either hand. Japanese culture as related by Norman Kraus, a missionary teaching theology in Japan in the early 80's, sees justice as the wise decision made by judges having taken into account the context and rendering the decision that will best preserve relationships in the community. Because shame, rather than guilt, is the primary cultural deterrent the ideas of forgiveness and propitiation as communicated by Penal Substitution do not resonate with Japanese culture.
Clearly Biblical truths should not be cast aside in order to conform to human culture. As Green & Baker point out, however, emphasizing the sense of sin as alienation from God and the atonement as Jesus entering into shame and dishonor in order to reconcile and restore us to God not only communicated meaningfully within Japanese contexts, it may also be closer to the scriptural depiction of the atonement as well! After all, the cultures in which the texts of the Old and New Testaments were written were also shame/honor cultures as well.
While I found the other attempts at contextualizing the meaning of the Atonement less successful, it was stimulating to think about how we can best communicate the mystery of the work of Christ in comprehensible ways. All metaphors break down at some point (if Christ effected a Ransom, to whom was the price paid? If it was Satisfaction of the Law's demands is God bound by the Law? Or did Jesus come to save us from God?) All we can do is resort to narrative and metaphor to explain the atonement. Not every metaphor is equally powerful or explicative but some do have the virtue of communicating in the "native language", so to speak, of a particular cultural group (I've been thinking, for instance, about Jesus as Trickster to communicate to the hacker/geek subculture I partially inhabit. The trickster (in the jungian archetype sense) is much revered in hacker culture (as embodied by words like "hack"). And Jesus' subversive relationship to the religious/political power structure of His day as well as the unexpected quality of His victory (achieved by submission to torture and death) and his upside-down Kingdom could communicate within this particular subculture in ways communication along the Penal Substitution lines cannot. In fact - following Gregory of Nyssa's imagery of Christ as a baited hook proffered to Evil, the Godhead concealed in humanity, Life swallowed by death which cannot contain it - the act of the Atonement might be classified as a clever hack. This will doubtless be seen as a sacrilegious characterization outside of hacker circles.
Besides being encouraged to think about how to think about the atonement Recovering the Scandal... also had the salutary effect of challenging my acceptance of the exclusive use of Penal Substitution language. About halfway through the book I became increasingly aware of my uncomfortableness with their polemic against Penal Substitution. For example:
Hodge's penal substitution model takes sin very seriously in that it presents sin as a huge barrier between God and humans. Yet it is a limited concept of sin that portrays it only in terms of moral failure or transgression of a law. Even within that concept of sin, however, the model does not intersect with the day-to-day reality of actual people. Describing the atonement as a legal transaction within the Godhead removes it from the historical world in which we live and leaves it unconnected to personal or social reconciliation. And in actuality it only addresses our reconciliation with God at an abstract level. That is to say, it is so objective, so outside of us (and in a sense outside of God) that what changes through the cross is a legal ruling. According to the logic of the model, an individual could be saved through penal substitution without experiencing a fundamental reorientation of his or her life.
Ethically this model has little to offerp149
Should we be doing theology on this sort of ends-oriented basis? Surely as exegetes the question to grapple with is "what does the text communicate", not "how will this work out". And it is undeniable that the concept of Satisfaction is in the Bible and in places hints at a Penal understanding (Isaiah 53, for example). It wasn't until I had moved on to other reading that I realized I had the ends-analysis exactly backwards.
J. Denny Weaver, contributing to Anabaptist Currents analyzed the ways in which atonement theology contributes (or fails) to ecclesiology. One key statement stuck out to me:
The doctrine of substitutionary atonement allows the same kind of substitution to occur in the area of theology. Defining salvation in terms of escape from guilt and deserved penalty - a legal transaction with God - provides a theological way to talk about salvation apart from considerations of discipleship, nonresistance, and love of enemies. It thus enables and reinforces an understanding of salvation that is separate from ethics.p35, The Church, Pietism and Nonresistance
Perhaps my question needs to be reversed. Is it possible that the Church in the West has selected Penal Substitution as the primary means of understanding the atonement precisely because it does lack an ethical dimension? Jesus came to preach the Kingdom of God the synoptic Gospels agree, and yet western Churches and western theology sees the Kingdom and discipleship as an optional add-on (at best) to the core message of Salvation (always understood in a juridical sense). Salvation as a legal transaction does allow us to do away with or render optional ecclesiology, discipleship, and ethics. But for the purposes of much of the Church this has been a feature, not a bug, which allows a Christianity neutered down to become a private transaction which need not affect the present.
Phrased like that it seems to me that a primary task of recovering the New Testament vision of the Christian life is to reject with prejudice exclusive claims for penal substitution and assert the diversity of Biblical language and atonement models (with all their implications for salvation).
Update: Fixed the spelling of Joel Green's name - thanks to nothing_to_say who may now deign to comment, if she's not to busy having coffee with Joel :)

Can't get enough NHL rumors? Lyle Richardson's Rumor Roundup column serves as a one-stop guide to the latest rumblings around the league.
Sabres GM facing a busy offseason
After several years of fitful rebuilding, the Buffalo Sabres got off to a promising start this season. They sat atop the Atlantic Division by late November and seemed well on their way to reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2010-11.
But it was not to be. A porous defense plus the lack of secondary scoring coupled with no established starting goaltender sent the Sabres tumbling down the standings and out of postseason contention.
With yet another disappointing season on the books, there's an expectation general manager Jason Botterill will be busy this summer tinkering with his roster. TSN's Bob McKenzie reports he'll be under pressure to do whatever's necessary to turn things around.
Topping his "to-do" list is re-signing Jeff Skinner. The 26-year-old left wing, acquired last summer from Carolina, quickly established tremendous chemistry with center Jack Eichel. Having tied his career-high of 37 goals, he should reach 40 by season's end.
However, Skinner is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and, as per Cap Friendly, he's completing a six-year contract. His performance this season ensures he'll get top dollar this summer. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman noted the lack of an extension for Skinner, suggesting the longer he goes unsigned, the more folks could wonder if a deal will get done.
Friedman also added he's heard term might be an issue. Meanwhile, McKenzie believes the Skinner camp will seek a long-term deal worth over $9 million per season, while the Sabres might be more comfortable with something in the $8 million range.
The Buffalo News' Lance Lysowski expects Botterill will get Skinner re-signed but doesn't see him making any big splashes in this summer's free-agent pool. Instead, he thinks the Sabres GM could attempt to shop some assets, including a few prospects, for immediate roster help.

Lysowski didn't rule out the possibility of Botterill drawing upon his blueline depth for trade bait. He noted Rasmus Ristolainen has surfaced this season in the rumor mill. Given his age (24), upside and reasonable $5.4-million salary-cap hit through 2021-22, Ristolainen could fetch an attractive return.
Moving Ristolainen, however, might not be the best course of action. The Sabres' blueline depth drops sharply beyond Ristolainen, rookie Rasmus Dahlin and recently acquired Brandon Montour. Veterans Zach Bogosian and Marco Scandella are under contract for next season but both have long injury histories.
Unless Ristolainen has grown weary of the constant losing and seeks a change of scenery, it would be best to hang onto him. He could prove to be a crucial part of the Sabres' defense next season.
Golden Knights could shed salary this summer
The Vegas Golden Knights pulled off the biggest move at the trade deadline by acquiring right wing Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators. They subsequently re-signed Stone to an eight-year, $76 million extension.
With Stone under contract, the Golden Knights have over $82 million invested in 17 players for 2019-20. They'll get some cap relief by placing all-but-retired winger David Clarkson on long-term injury reserve at the start of next season. Nevertheless, GM George McPhee must shed some salary to make room for other moves.

A new contract for center William Karlsson will be a priority. He's a restricted free agent with arbitration rights following the completion of his one-year, $5.25 million deal.
The Athletic's Jesse Granger speculates McPhee could attempt to move a forward like Cody Eakin or Ryan Reaves. Both are depth forwards with a year remaining on their respective deals. Eakin's contract is carrying a $3.85 million annual average value and Reaves a $2.775 million AAV.
Granger also suggested shopping Colin Miller. The 26-year-old rearguard is signed through 2021-22 with a $3.875 million cap hit. He tallied 40 points in 2017-18 and could reach 30 this season, perhaps making him enticing to teams seeking an affordable right-side defenseman.
Will the Islanders shop Leddy?
The New York Islanders improvement this season has some observers wondering what GM Lou Lamoriello might do this summer to bolster his roster for next year.
TSN's Pierre LeBrun pointed out the Isles have the fourth-most salary-cap space for 2019-20. With over $47.7 million tied up in 16 players, Lamoriello would have plenty of room to make some big additions if ownership is willing to spend toward the projected $83 million ceiling.
There's speculation Lamoriello could pursue a big-ticket free agent like Columbus' Artemi Panarin. The Athletic's Arthur Staple, however, feels the Islanders remain a difficult sell to free-agent talent.
Staple thinks Lamoriello could be forced to go the trade route. With young defensemen such as Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech and Devon Toews seeing more playing time, he wonders if veteran blueliner Nick Leddy might become expendable.
Once the leader among Isles defensemen in points and ice time, Leddy has seen those numbers decline this season. Staple proposed the Edmonton Oilers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs or Winnipeg Jets as possible trade partners.
