Episode 6 – Show Notes Ed and Andrew report to Frances on their experiences of the Book of Mormon Show in London. We also chat about SkyDivePhil who presented on Animal Suffering at the London Unbelievable Discussion Group. We recommend seeing him debate recently in Texas. Here is a link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKQWrbeoA2E In last month’s show we mentioned an impressive poem by Glen Scrivener “Given” which he read at this year’s Unbelievable Conference. We play his reading and then discuss it. Here is a link to the poem as text:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ex8GvfVysyZW4qde6WT83anCr9qQYSgwipUGJCe4jXo/edit The “Is that in the Bible” slot (Genesis 8:20-22) introduces ideas of sacrificing animals to please or appease God. This leads to a historical take on the Atonement as the next instalment of our continuing discussion we’re calling a ‘Summer of Atonement’. How did the early Christians get to the idea that Jesus’ death could take away sins? The link between animal sacrifice and removal of sins in the Hebrew Bible is surely an important source. But as we look into it these Old Testament ideas don’t seem to hang together that well. Then Ed is put in the interviewer’s spotlight as he explains his double conversion. He still has breath left to do a Climate Endnote on the old idea the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’, which has relevance to how we should address Climate Change today.

Episode 5 – Show Notes Frances and Andrew report back on the great Unbelievable Conference and we then give the answer ‘no’ to “Is that in the Bible?”. The earliest gospel, Mark, does not have anything at all on the central Christian idea that Christ died to do something about sins. We then we get to grips with a chapter in our 50 Arguments for Faith book “Is Jesus the Only Way?” This addresses the idea of exclusive truth as well as the apparent unfairness for cultures not familiar with Jesus. We consider how Jesus could be the Way to God or salvation. This idea that he dealt with sin, called the Atonement, is central. The “Is that in the Bible” discussion highlighted some problems here and they became worse as Andrew introduced us to his YouTube channel on Christian Diversity and the episode on the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement.https://youtu.be/P6TnqGa9Z3g We have decided to dig a bit deeper and make this a ‘Summer of Atonement”. We should all feel a lot better when it is done! Frances tackles a key problem for Penal Substitutionary Atonement, which is how the guilt of one person can be transferred to another. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig thinks he has solved this and used Anglo-US practice in Law as his basis. That is Frances’ professional expertise and she puts us straight on the matter.

NT Wright is a leading professor of New Testament at the forefront of the New Perspective on Paul. His reassesment of the words of Paul on "justification" have led to concern from reformed church leaders like John Piper.
