Forsaking Penal Substitution, Pt. 1: A Theological Critique

Penal substitution is theologically problematic. In this video, I criticize the theory and its claims about God. This is part one of a three-part series examining why I think penal substitution must be rejected on theological and biblical grounds. Part two will examine the scriptural basis for this, while part one establishes the theological framework for that critique. Part three will suggest a few of the ways we might interpret the cross apart from this theory.
