In the last few weeks there's been a flurry of on-line activity over John Mark Comer's comments on Instagram concerning Andrew Remington Rillera's book "Lamb of the Free", writes Dr Dan Strange, Director of the Crosslands Forum.
Comer posted: "One of the most important academic books I've read in years. Next I'll read rebuttals, but this seems to be the final Biblical / exegetical knock out blow to PSA [Penal Substitutionary Atonement]."
In 2005, and in the context of similar denials, I gave the annual public lecture for The Evangelical Library which was on the anniversary of a number of classic defences of PSA: James Denney's The Death of Christ (1905); Leon Morris' The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross (1955); Jim Packer's Tyndale Lecture "What did the Cross Achieve" (1975), and John Stott's The Cross of Christ (1986).
