Paidion,
I hardly know what to think. You dismiss Hick's paper after one sentence? If you had read a bit further you would have understood his point (well, maybe not). You would have seen that he referenced Romans 5:11 regarding "reconciliation" to explain what the "atonement" accomplished (English word; I did not see a reference to a Greek word in his entire paper).
More than a little ironic that you chastise his use of the English word "atonement", seeing you do not believe there was one, and then you misuse it to refer people to your booklet. Why don't you just say "there was no atonement" and then refer people to your booklet?
