Tom Wright THE ATOMEMENT DEBATE

Tom Wright shares the Christus Victor approach to the atonement, and summarizes current debates regarding the nature of the atonement. Though the penal subsitution motif is present, is it the primary meaning of the cross, or part of a bigger narrative in which God triumphs over evil?

For me, the gospel, Jesus, and the cross are about more than the mere forgiveness of sins. They are about God's victory over evil, corruption and decay in all aspects of the created order.
