Quick takeaways

  • Recapitulation theory emphasizes the importance of Christ's sinless life and covenantal relationship with man as crucial components of the atonement, complementing penal substitutionary atonement.
  • Ransom to Satan theory misinterprets Jesus' sacrifice, attributing it to Satan instead of God, which deviates from biblical teaching and reflects a dualism error.

Deep dives

Recapitulation Theory

Recapitulation theory emphasizes the necessity of Christ's active obedience and the covenantal nature of God's relationship with man. It highlights the need for Christ to live sinlessly to earn the righteousness imputed to us. However, it should be held complementary to penal substitutionary atonement.
