(Text of translation ).〕 Kotsko completed his Ph.D. in theology, ethics, and culture at CTS in 2009. His doctoral dissertation was titled ''Atonement and Ontology'', and argued that an understanding of atonement theory requires a social-relational ontology. A modified version of his dissertation was published by Continuum International Publishing Group in 2010 under the title of ''The Politics of Redemption: The Social Logic of Salvation''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adam Kotsko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
