Hovedvaegten ligger på, hvordan disse aspekter er blevet tilrettelagt forskelligt i et repraesentativt udvalg af forsoningsteorier ned gennem kirkens historie, dog sådan at nyere opfattelser fylder mest. Saerligt siden det 19. århundrede har tendensen vaeret den, at de subjektive aspekter har fortraengt de objektive. Denne udvikling skete først blandt såkaldt liberale teologer, men omkring årtusindskiftet gentog den sig blandt såkaldt evangelikale. Udviklingen analyseres, og diverse argumenter for subjektiv forsoning kritiseres ud fra den betragtning, at Det Nye Testamente skelner mellem frelsens objektive grund og dens subjektive modtagelse.

There is, however, an asymmetry between God’s will for life and God’s will for death. The article explores how this asymmetry has been handled in different ways within the early Lutheran tradition. Also, the Formula of Concord (1577) understood divine predestination to be the cause of human faith. Later Lutheran Orthodoxy understood human faith to be the reason for divine predestination. In the 1880’s these two positions gave rise to a controversy among North American Lutherans. Their main arguments are reproduced.Martin Luther himself believed that everything happened by necessity, but he understood this to be compatible with a distinct version of a free will. In modern philosophical parlance, Luther was a compatibilist. In this, later Lutheran Orthodoxy did not follow the reformer. It moved towards synergism.
