Theology Thursday Posted by John Percival, 10 Apr 2014 Theology.
A distant memory from college days? A divisive challenge to church life? A delightful pastime for idle minds? ‘Why should I bother reading esoteric theological articles when I need some material that will preach on Sunday and get me through PCC on Monday?’
Welcome to ‘Theology Thursdays’ on the Church Society blog. Here we will serve up some of the best articles from the Church Society archives because we think theology matters:
• To educate ourselves about the contemporary challenges to biblical faith;
• To equip us to proclaim God’s word faithfully and relevantly;
• To enrich our relationship with our Triune God.
We realise time is scarce, so we will limit ourselves to one article each fortnight. We aim to introduce the article and highlight its relevance to busy gospel workers. Our first article is by Mike Ovey, Principal of Oak Hill College. Ten years ago, a doctrine that evangelicals have long held as central to the gospel, ‘penal substitutionary atonement,’ was publicly criticised as basically ‘cosmic child abuse.’ This was not a new argument, and those involved in the debates were quick to draw on sources such as Gustaf Aulén’s Christus Victor.
For the rest, see:
