Is it accurate to say that "God hung on the cross" or "God died for me"? That was the topic of co-host Dan's paper at the UCA Conference in July 2024. Watch the presentation and read more detailed responses to some of the questions to see why we think that it wasn't God on the cross.
Dan welcomes guest, John Launchbury, to discuss the vital question: why did Jesus have to die? They explore the meaning of the word atonement and consider the pros and cons of some of the main atonement theories. As they explore the key scriptural passages involved they find that the impact of the death of Jesus can be just as profound today as it was in the 1st century - and it's all about changing us rather than changing God!
