Recent days have seen a debate among evangelicals over how the
death of Christ is to be interpreted. When a popular British
evangelical leader appeared to denounce the idea that God was
punishing Christ in our place on the cross as a 'twisted version of
events, ' 'morally dubious, ' and a 'huge barrier to faith' that
should be rejected in favour of preaching only that God is love,
major controversy was stirred. Many thought the idea of penal
substitution was at the heart of the evangelical understanding of
the cross, if not the only legitimate interpretation of the death
of Christ. Yet for some time less popular evangelical theologians
had been calling this traditional interpretation of the atonement
into question. So, is the traditional evangelical view of penal
substitution the biblical explanation of Christ s death or one of
many? Is it the non-negotiable heart of evangelical theology or a
time-bound explanation that has outlived its usefulness? What does
the cross say about the character of God, the nature of the law and
sin, the meaning of grace, and our approach to missions? The public
debate which resulted was often heated. In order to act as
reconcilers, the Evangelical Alliance and the London School of
Theology called for a symposium in which advocates of the different
positions could engage with each other. The symposium, which was
attended by some 200 participants, was held when the July 7th
bombings took place in London and drew together many of Britain s
finest evangelical theologians. This book contains the collection
of papers given at the symposium, supplemented by a few others for
the sake of rounding out the agenda, and grouped in convenient
sections."
