In this Theology Lab conversation, theologian Brad East offers a pastoral perspective on Penal Substitution, one of the most debated ideas in Christian theology. What does it really mean to say that Jesus died for our sins? How should we understand the atonement, justice, and God’s love through the lens of the Bible, and especially in thinking about preaching or what we share as Christians? East unpacks the meaning and misconceptions behind Penal Substitution, and a critical use of it, helping viewers think about it with nuance, faith, and compassion.
Perfect for non-expert Christians, curious believers, and folks wrestling with big theological questions, this video provides an accessible and thoughtful exploration of biblical theology, atonement, and pastoral care.
