In this episode Caleb is joined by Jeremy Treat (PhD, Wheaton College) pastor for preaching and vision at Reality Church in Los Angeles, California and professor of theology at Biola University to discuss the doctrine of the atonement. Together they discuss things like: how the atonement relates to Christ’s kingdom mission, how the atonement is a trinitarian accomplishment, how Christ reconciles God and sinners as well as heaven and earth, why theories or models are reductionistic, how penal substitution is at the center, and Scripture’s multi-faceted approach to explaining the work of Christ.
