Understanding Atonement | Understanding the Why of the Gospel

Dive deeper into the doctrine of salvation with Charlie and Abigail on the Cultivate Podcast as they explore various theories of atonement. Moving beyond the commonly discussed penal substitutionary atonement, they introduce lesser-known perspectives such as Christ the Victor, Moral Influence, Ransom, Governmental, and Recapitulation theories. To make these complex theological concepts more accessible, Charlie and Abigail engage in a "fascinating exercise" using pop culture examples. They discuss the sacrificial deaths of characters from The Green Mile, A Tale of Two Cities, Iron Man, Black Widow, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Harry Potter, analyzing which atonement theories best align with these fictional narratives. This episode offers a unique and engaging way to understand the multifaceted theological interpretations of Jesus's sacrifice.
