Do we need to rethink penal substitutionary atonement? According to a new popular book, the answer is a resounding YES. In his book "Lamb of the Free," Dr. Andrew R.

As far as I am aware, there has not been an in-depth response to this book. Dr. William Lane Craig joins me to set the record straight.
