It is also easy to identify an atoning connectivity in Christian thought between Christ, gentile, and Jew (figure 3).

What is altogether more difficult is to see how Torah and Christ have any atoning connectivity (figure 4).

This is the conundrum that has not, so far, been satisfactorily resolved in the NPP. We suggest that until a positive theological relationship between Torah and Christ has been articulated, it will not be possible to draw the circle as shown in figure 5.

And this, of course, is why some scholars look for that solution through some form of “two-track” version, such as in figure 6, in which atonement is “divided,” or shared between different soteriological systems. Already we have noted significant conceptual difficulties with this and there remains the problem of what happens in the space where both circles overlap.
