Exploring Substitutionary Atonement

This chapter delves into the concept of substitutionary atonement, examining its origins in the Reformation era and discussing the theological implications through parallels drawn between biblical narratives of sacrifice. It explores the significance of sacrificial offerings in the Old Testament, the evolution towards understanding Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice, and reflections on the symbolism of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac as a foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice for mankind.
