In this episode of our Cross and Creation series, Andrew continues his summarising of the metaphors for the atonement. He argues that every metaphor has its limits and cannot be pushed universally. But he argues that the adoption/sonship model of the atonement offers the best fit for the various metaphors, and that the alternative wrath of God/judicial model narrows and even distorts the grand sweep of the gospel story.
To assist with the talk Andrew has provided a short set of Powerpoint slides on the subject. Please see the "Download Documents" link on our website page - Gospel Conversations
