Why penal substitution is problematic

Bradley Jersak is a theologian, author, and Principal of St. Stephen's University. His books including A More Christlike God, A More Christlike Word, and Out of the Embers have helped countless people navigate faith transitions and discover a more expansive understanding of the gospel. This conversation explores some of the pivotal movements in Brad’s story as well as his views on things like penal substitutionary atonement, hell and the very character of God. If you've ever struggled with images of a God who seems angry, distant, violent or retributive, this is a conversation for you.

 
Some of Brad's (many) books we mention in this conversation:

A More Christlike God: A More Beautiful Gospel
A More Christlike Word: Reading Scripture the Emmaus Way
Out of the Embers: Faith After the Great Deconstruction
Her Gates Will Never Be Shut
