Penal Problems with Keith Giles

Prolific author, teacher, podcaster, Keith Giles joins us today to talk about reading scripture correctly, atonement theory, and his new book, Jesus Unforsaken. The book challenges many assumptions was it asks the essential question, "what if Jesus didn't die to save us from God?" Jesus Unforsaken is an essential read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, devouring it over two days. In the book, Giles takes a deep dive into the doctrine of atonement, grabbing the bull by its penal substitutionary horns. Keith has a way of writing that is detailed and methodical, yet very accessible and easy to follow. For too long has Christianity been force-feeding us the image of an angry God whose wrath can only be quenched with a blood sacrifice. It's a pagan idea at its core and thankfully Giles returns us to scripture to show us that atonement theories are not the Gospel. Jesus saves us from our sins, not from God. This book is a terrific read that reminds us of the hopeful and loving God seen through the image of Jesus that becomes incarnated into the world through those that walk out his ways.
