How would a Reformed theologian distinguish his or her view of atonement?
score:1
This is not my personal answer, as to what I believe, but rather what I am coming to understand about the difference in views with regard to the extent of the atonement.
I found two excellent summaries.
The first is in favor of the term 'limited atonement' and the concepts behind it. It is written from a "modern reformation" perspective which I suspect holds to 5-point Calvinism.
The second is from a 4-point Calvinist position which rejects the language and concept of 'limited atonement." As these views are the closest I have found, with this one difference, I thought it would be worth posting the links for these articles here.
