I thought I'd post the bibliography here for two reasons. First, so that it might be useful to others. Secondly, so that others can mention additional works.
Addendum on 7 December: I've decided to update the bibliography as suggestions are added to keep things neat. (Cue Dawn saying "How J") I've taken Michael's comments on board and started a new section entitled "General Resources on Atonement"

Aulen's book is good, but if it is nonviolent, it is so subtle I missed it. Fiddes' work is excellent. So is Denny Weaver's. I like Gunton, but didn't see the nonviolent dimensions there.
What of Moltmann's Crucified God? What of feminist views of the atonement like Dorothee Soelle's Christ the Representative??
I'm not familiar with the others on your list. Thanks for listing these so I can check them out. Keep it up, Pam!
Michael, the Gunton and Aulen books are there to serve the purpose of providing an overview of different theories of atonement. (Maybe I should remove them from this bibliography)
Thanks for your additions. I'm not an expert in this subject by any means!
How about
Atonement for a sinless society- Alan Mann, (Authentic Media 2005)
Thanks, sally. I'd seen the title of that book, but had never looked at it. I was worried it might be a book ranting about how people don't think they're sinners anymore.
