What’s the deal with theories of atonement? In this latest Stuff We Didn’t Get in Sunday School Episode, Erin and Evan discuss popular atonement theories and answer listener questions about topics like atonement in other religions, what sin has to do with all this, how to talk with kids about these topics, and so much more! We also know that these topics can be tough and confusing, so we’ve found TV show comparisons for each theory!
