'''Reconciliation''', a [[theological]] term, is an element of [[salvation]] that refers to the results of [[atonement]]. Reconciliation as a theological [[concept]] describes the end of the [[alienation|estrangement]], caused by [[sin]], between [[God]] and [[humanity]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin John Calvin] describes reconciliation as the [[peace]] between humanity and God that results from the expiation of our sin and the propitiation of God's wrath.[1] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism Evangelical] theologian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Ryken Philip Ryken] describes reconciliation in this way; "It is part of the message of Salvation that brings us back together with God. ... God is the [[author]], Christ is the agent and we are the ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5)."[2] Although it's only used five times in the Pauline [[corpus]] (Romans 5:10-11, 11:15, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, Ephesians 2:14-17 and Colossians 1:19-22) it is an essential term, describing the "substance" of the gospel and salvation.[3] Ralph Martin writing in the Dictionary of Paul and his Letters, suggests reconciliation is at the center of Pauline theology.[4] Stanley Porter writing in the same volume suggests a conceptual link between the reconciliation Greek word group katallage (or katallasso) and the Hebrew word shalom, generally translated as 'peace.'[5]
