Join Alex, Chris, and Jo as they dive into the deep (and sometimes nerdy!) waters of atonement theology. From heated debates on who exactly Jesus died for, to a fun detour into quantum theory and open theism, this episode blends big ideas with a light-hearted twist.In this episode, we explore the different views on the extent of the atonement, including Limited Atonement (or Particular Redemption), Unlimited Atonement, and Amyraldianism (Four-Point Calvinism). We also touch on Universalism and the eternal question of how wide God's grace extends. Things get extra theological as we discuss infralapsarianism and supralapsarianism—how God’s plan for salvation unfolded in relation to the fall—and even dip into some quantum theory for all you theology geeks out there! If you're ready for an episode packed with both profound insights and a good dose of humour, now's the time to listen!Featured Resources:Gary Schnittjer - Torah StoryGary Schnittjer - How to Study the Bible's Use of the BibleOther ResourcesThe Nature of the Atonement - edited by James K.
