What Happened at the Cross?

We’re all familiar with phrases like ‘Jesus died for me on the cross’ and ‘Jesus died to save me.’ But the million-dollar question is… how? Join us as we delve into the most common Western answer — penal substitution — and juxtapose this with insights from other parts of Christian history and culture.

 

Lots of books to recommend this week:

Approaching the Atonement by Crisp

The day the Revolution Began by NT Wright

Recovering the Scandal of the Cross by Baker & Green

The Mosaic of Atonement by McNall

Atonement by Stump
