Summary/Abstract: Herbert McCabe interprets Redemption as a supernatural transformation, not an improvement of human nature: both humanity and individual persons are called to share the mysterious and unpredictable divine nature. As for what concerns the atonement and reconciliation of the sinner with God, McCabe prefers two models, Moral Influence and Christus Victor, which better explain why political revolutions are not just 'secular' events: in fact, Christians ‘belong with them’, even though they do not ‘belong to them’.
