Atonement and The Death of Christ With William Lane Craig

Send us Fan MailMany have raised moral and theological objections on the justness, theological coherence and compatibility of the atonement. In this episode of Faith Informed, Dr. William Lane Craig joins me to discuss the crucial doctrine of the atonement and more specifically, penal substitution. How does Christ’s atoning death reconcile us to God? Why did Jesus have to die? Was His death necessary? How have Christians historically understood the doctrine of the atonement? How does Christ’s atoning death serve to expiate sin and propitiate God? Is penal substitution incompatible with God’s love? How is it just for God to punish Christ, an innocent party in place of us, the truly guilty ones? We will examine these questions and more. Dr. Craig has written extensively on the subject in his book, Atonement and the Death of Christ, looking at the atonement from an exegetical, historical and philosophical perspective.Watch the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E52_D2HX75sSubscribe to the Podcast:iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-informed/id1682894387Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cwP64Y6SwPeXxkSiweM9q?si=6ebb478404b0445bDonate to future episodes: www.engagein.org/donateFor more resources visit: www.engagein.org
