Which Atonement Theory is Right?

Which view of the atonement is right? Here I combine the themes of recapitulation and satisfaction, drawing from Anselm, Irenaeus, and Athanasius, to offer a proposal concerning what constitutes the core of the atonement.

Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus.

Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
