How does Jesus, through his life and death, save us? How do our beliefs about this affect our Christian walk and worldview? How does the Atonement reveal the character of God? These are some of the questions that are raised and answered in this book. What we believe about the meaning of Jesus' death matters, because of how it affects our views about God and the Christian life.

You may be surprised to learn that the meaning of Jesus’ death as taught by many Christians is a fairly modern development in church history. Penal Substitution, the idea that Jesus died to take our punishment and receive the wrath of God in our place, has little support in Scripture and was not the understanding of the early church.

Penal Substitution on Trial was written to promote biblical teaching on Jesus’ death with a goal to increase our wonder, worship, and love for God. This book contains in-depth discussion of the meaning of Jesus' death, and critique of the teaching of Penal Substitution.
