Summary/Abstract: The theology of the work of redemption must be constantly reinterpreted, depending on human perception of reality in various historical phases, so that the redemptive work of Christ may be adequately understood and properly assimilated. This article proposes a new interpretation of classic western redemption-related concepts: vicarious expiation, vicarious suffering, vicarious sacrifice. In the first place the author seeks to present the work of redemption as a single and all-encompassing work of Christ which includes his life, death, and resurrection.
