81. Reclaiming Atonement: How the Church Turned a Story of Love into a Doctrine of Divine Child Abuse (and Why It's Time To Let That Go), Part 2
from The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered · host Colin Connor
It’s time to rethink the Atonement! Most of us only know one version of what Jesus's death and resurrection meant—He died to take God’s wrath away from you and put it on himself instead. The fancy theological name for that is Penal Substitutionary Atonement, and it wasn’t orthodox belief until 500 years ago. But church history reveals a wealth of different views on what atonement really means. This week, we dive deep into the history of atonement theories—from ancient to modern— exploring their strengths and weaknesses. If the idea of a vengeful God makes you uncomfortable, you're in historically good company! Let's explore a healthier, more nuanced understanding of the atonement together.
