What Is Atonement?

from Prodigal Pastor

What do we actually mean when we talk about “atonement”? In this episode, Jonny explores what the cross accomplishes—and why Christians have never agreed on exactly how it works. From the biblical metaphors of ransom, reconciliation, victory, and sacrifice to the different theories Christians have developed throughout history, we’ll explore why atonement is bigger and more beautiful than any single explanation. And through it all, we’ll return to a simple center: the cross reveals the love of God and makes us at-one with God.
