The saving work of Jesus is central to the Christian faith. But how does it actually work? The subject of the Atonement is one that has been wrestled with for millennia, theologians traying to make sense of the many ways that scripture explains the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. How does this God-man's existence translate to eternal salvation for humanity? And who's included? how far does it stretch? Join Alex, Chris and Jo (and maybe some special guests along the way) as they examine the many theories and understandings of the Atonement, and what that can mean for us today.Resources:The Nature of the Atonement - edited by James K.
