What are the different theories surrounding the Atonement? Why did Jesus die on the cross? Who killed him and why? And who decided to Substitute their Penal? Plus, Brian Zahnd (author of Postcards from Babylon, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, and A Farewell to Mars) is our Heretic of the Week!

#048: The Atonement (HOTW: Brian Zahnd)

Heretic Happy Hour is an unapologetically irreverent, crass, and sometimes profound conversation about the intersection of culture and the Christian faith. Hosts Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano, alongside a rotating panel of guest hosts that include theologians and therapists, professors and prophets, mystics and misfits, pull no punches and leave no stones unturned. For some serious sacred cow-tipping, there’s nothing better than spending an hour of your time with us.

New shows every Tuesday, with bonus episodes on Fridays and Sundays. Relaunching May 7!
