Atonement Theology Revisited - What’s the Cross Got to Do with It? - 175

Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

At the terrific suggestion of a listener, the Irenicast crew takes up the Atonement Doctrine for round 2 in Atonement Theology Revisited. The episode begins with each co-host picking up from where we left off in Episode #59 - Why Did Jesus Die? The conversation does not last long before the question of Sin enters the room. Then co-hosts explore how Jesus’ death on the cross fits into the theological categories of Sin and Atonement.

The conversation meanders through the lineage of Western Christianity which dealt us the inheritance of a particular understanding of Atonement in which violence becomes sanctified. Co-hosts continue by connecting White Supremacy, Patriarchy, Militarism, and Policing to a neat and tidy, albeit violent, vision of one bloody sacrifice for all. Co-hosts reconstruct the Passion story sans Atonement doctrine before each describing the evolution of their own Atonement Theologies.

The episode closes by bringing back the segment: Sort of Scattergories. You might be surprised at how lint finds its way into the darndest places.
