In this series we look at how Christians have understood the way that Christ's Atonement has been applied to us. What does it mean that he died for us?
The main points covered are the historical and philosophical reasons behind each of the following views:
The Recapitulation view
The Ransom to Satan view
The Moral Example view
The Satisfaction/Sacramental view
The Vicarious Substitutionary view
The Governmental view
You'll discover that each view has merit and we should understand them and why they were held to in order for us to get a better understanding of the meaning of the Gospel.
