The Atonement Tapes

The Atonement Tapes is an exploration of atonement theory. We begin with an overview of the dominant theory - Penal Substitutionary Atonement - found in the evangelical tradition, and explore where that theology came from. We then explore the atonement theory of Christus Victor, through Gustaf Aulen's book by the same name, to unpack the different theories and the impact they have to not only our theology, but every other aspect of our faith. We'll also tie atonement theory to its biblical roots of Yom Kippur and the day of atonement, because to understand the concept, you have to start where it all began.
