As we saw in episode 91, there’s a crowded field of atonement theories. Can we rule some of them out?

In the first portion of this episode Dr. Thurow offers objections to subjective theories, and to penal substitution, ransom, and christus victor theories of atonement.

Dr. Thurow then sketches his own, original approach to understanding atonement, which focuses on the collective sin of the human race. This theory is supposed to better fit the Bible, and to make better moral sense out of Jesus’s once and for all atonement.
