Episode notes
Objective Vs Subjective Atonement
- Wisløff distinguishes objective and subjective atonement theories in church history and places Luther clearly within the objective strain.
- He emphasizes Isaiah's Suffering Servant as central to Luther's understanding that Christ was punished for our transgressions.
Aulén's Two Atonement Motifs
- Wisløff summarizes Gustav Aulén's 1930 distinction between the Latin (satisfaction) and the classic ( Christus Victor) motifs.
- He reports Aulén's claim that the classic motif is more genuinely Christian and appears in Luther and the Greek Fathers.
Classic Motif: Christ Conquers Powers
- Wisløff explains the classic motif as Christ overcoming sin, death, devil and law, showing a broken rule of God's handling.
- He contrasts this with the Latin motif where the law's demands force a harsher divine action to satisfy justice.
