"The God who is One, beyond numbering and yet mysteriously Three, reconciled us by shouldering our sin in the person of Christ who is one of the Three. That's the mystery of human redemption made possible by the mystery of God's Trinity: The One who was offended bears the burden of the offense. . . . Christ is not a third party inserted between God and humanity to take care of human sin. He is the God who was wronged."
- Miroslav Volf, "Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace" (p 145)
