Why You Don't Understand Atonement - Dr. Adam Johnson

Dr. Adam Johnson is a theologian, professor, and writer.

Trying to delve deeply into areas of Christian doctrine can be frustrating, difficult, and confusing. The Doctrine of Atonement, while essential to Christian belief, is one of these challenging areas. This episode should be a good start to clear up confusion and remove some of that frustration.

You can expect to learn what the word “atonement” means, what the Doctrine of Atonement is meant to help you understand, why many Christians have a destructively narrow view of atonement, the reason Dr. Johnson is apprehensive of broad claims about evangelicals, why it’s important to embrace life’s complexity, and why you should read “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.”
