[WTM]

I sometimes find it helpful to contrast 'redemption' with 'reconciliation'. The latter seems to me to have to do with a relationship, and the former seems to have to do with a condition. You cannot have one without the other. And, both have three forms: the definitive form in Christ, the present form by which we participate in Christ's definitive form, and the eschatological form whn Christ's definitive form and our participation in it will be fully manifested.
