This Month on Common Grace we’re talking about Atonement Theory. Although we’ve briefly touched on it in our previous episodes with Greg Boyd we felt that it deserved a conversation of its own. So today we’ll be talking about some of the lenses you can view atonement theory through as well as talking about how to approach deep theological topics like this one.

We wanted to take this opportunity to look at where we have been as well and what we believe. This episode is from The Doing God’s Business Podcast. Its an opportunity to learn about our Host George and the History of Whitewater. We have a lot on the horizon for Common Grace in the upcoming year, but as we’re planning, we’d love to hear from you.

Today we welcome back Greg Boyd on Common Grace. Our conversation touches on Christian nationalism, atonement theory, and peace theology. Atonement theory is considering how and what God did through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Although there are many theories on how the atonement of Jesus saved humanity, there is very little argument within Christianity that Jesus death on the cross offers eternal life. Just War theology is the belief that preserving life and peace sometimes requires resorting to war. Peace Theology comes from a perspective of non—violence and believing that preserving life and peace requires refusing war and violence.  Both perspectives agree war and violence is undesirable and both strive to follow the teachings of Jesus. Common Grace is a place to learn and grow together, A place to disagree and hear new opinions. Although these views are distinct, they don’t need to cause division. We hope this episode catalyzes dialogue, learning, and mutual transformation. Let’s listen as Greg reminds us it’s important to love our enemies, to turn the other cheek, and most importantly always put Christ at the center.
