Dr. Andrew Rillera

Dr. Andrew Rillera, an expert in Biblical Studies and author of "The Lamb of the Free," challenges the traditional view of penal substitutionary atonement. He discusses the distinctions between various types of sacrifices in the Old Testament, arguing that some grave sins cannot be addressed through sacrifice alone. Rillera emphasizes Jesus’ death as an act of solidarity with Israel’s covenant failures rather than a mere substitution for individual sins, reshaping our understanding of atonement and divine justice. His insights encourage a participatory view of Christ's redemptive work.
