Deep dives
Understanding Atonement Theory
Atonement theory is centered around understanding what Christ achieved through his death on the cross and its reconciliation role with God. This involves exploring various models, with penal substitution at the forefront, emphasizing that Christ's sacrifice addresses God's wrath against sin. Other theories, like moral influence, highlight the transformative power of Christ's example, but they do not capture the essence of justice satisfied through sacrifice. Understanding these differing models is essential for grasping the complete picture of atonement as discussed in the theological context.
