In Christian theology, proponents of the doctrine of 'healing in the Atonement' argue that Christ's suffering and crucifixion:

### Why this is right The author cites the statement “by whose stripes ye were healed” and interprets it as a provision connected with Christ’s work. The passage is used to support the book’s healing argument. ### The concept Atonement refers here to Christ’s work associated with bearing sin and its consequences. The book draws a connection between salvation language and healing language, while a careful reader should recognize this as the author’s interpretation. ### The other options - **B. They are presented only as a symbol of human effort**: this is not the author’s reading. - **C. They are said to apply only to forgiveness, never healing**: the book explicitly applies the cited phrase to healing. - **D. They are described as a command to avoid medical care**: the text does not give that command.
