Listen "The Atonement and the Pastor (Parchman Lecture Series | Truett Seminary | Part 4) - KR 152"
Episode Synopsis
Is penal substitution theory the leading metaphor of atonement in the Bible?
Evangelicalism has some specific drivers that make penal substitution theory an attractive metaphor. In Scot’s fourth and final lecture in this series, he investigates what metaphors really are and how metaphors can and should help us understand the atonement. When the church takes the full message of atonement to heart, mission can help but flow.
