However, I wanted to pass these links on to you for further research.<br /><br />The aversion to the penal substitution theory of the atonement goes way back. Here are some links of articles written by Paul Peter Waldenstrom, one of the founders (if not the founder) of the Evangelical Free Church movement. I don't think these views are 'perfect' but I do think they provide an insight into the character of God and his ways that in no way minimizes God's holiness. <br /><br />http://www.gospeltruth.net/recon_walden.htm<br /><br />http://www.gospeltruth.net/Waldenstrom/wald_atone_index.htm<br /><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Petter_Waldenström<br /><br />- LeoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585739149170089037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873773.post-32256804891778211072007-04-20T09:11:00.000-04:002007-04-20T09:11:00.000-04:00Great article, Larry.

I think in our humanistic, post-modern age people have elevated their minds and their worldviews above (or at least equal to) God and thus have, wittingly or unwittingly, "humanized" God in their thinking. I've been reading in the OT lately and, to me, it's amazing how someone could miss God's absolute holiness and His judgment of sin from the OT narratives.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good stuff. I'm a regular reader. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
