This research article sets out to explore Athanasius’ physical-substitutionary theory of atonement, and eventually demonstrate how it can be a remedy for the Agikuyu fear of kirumi (curse). This will drive us to construct an existentialtranscendental theology of atonement. Through an analytical design, the research article will methodologically strive to retrace the curse from the Garden of Eden tree to the reversing of the curse on the tree - the Cross of Christ. In retrospect, this evangelistic-remedial work intends to generate the Agikuyu Christians’ deeper understanding of the Christian doctrine of atonement towards overcoming the fear of kirumi. Theoretically, thus, it employs existential-transcendentalism as the concept that guides the construction of an existential-transcendental theology of atonement towards addressing the Agikuyu Christians’ fear of kirumi.
