Introduction

The atonement of jesus christ is perhaps the central doctrine of the church. Sometimes leaders and teachers come up with mortal analogies and metaphors to help us better grasp this finite, yet a qor concept of our faith. In alma forty two, in the book of mormon, alma, the younger, expounds on christ atonement to try to help his wayward son. Alma is going to use a justice and mercy model to help rectify some of cory anton's misunderstandings about the atonement.
