A definitive work on the Atonement.

This has been simmering on the back-boiler for a while, and now is the time for sharing. It is a (hopefully!) comprehensive rebuttal of Penal Substitution from a purely Scriptural point of view, rather than examining the logical inconsistencies*.

It is primarily aimed at encouraging those who have been taught Penal Substitution to openly examine the Gospel narratives for themselves. It has a flow: providing logical follow-on questions and a response to each.

It may also encourage those who are uncomfortable with Penal Substitution to realise they are on far more solid ground Scripturally!

Feel free to share with others if you find it helpful.

* For a good logical argument, I recommend this post: https://vaporsinthewind.com/2018/04/03/10-reasons-why-i-have-rejected-penal-substitution/

About Us

We are Christians who are tired of non-Biblical Christianity. We do not subscribe to any particular denomination, nor any confession of faith other than that of the Early Church Councils. In order to know the God of the Apostles we believe we need to read the Bible they read (i.e. the Septuagint), and learn from them in context. We love theology. We love exploring ideas from across all streams of Christendom. We are learning as we go. Our goal is to sift out non-biblical ‘doctrine’ and stick with what Scripture ACTUALLY says (1 Cor 4:6).

Our names are Richard and Wendy.  We are husband and wife and are based in the UK. For more info or if you’d like to meet in person, please e-mail us at gospelcoalescence@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
