Atonement and Sacrifice Posts

In this category, we explore the theological terrain of blood, ritual, and reconciliation--from ancient covenant ceremonies to the cross of Christ. These posts examine how sacrifice functions within the biblical narrative, distinguishing between covenantal representation and purification rites, and comparing those to modern assumptions about substitution, wrath, and atonement. Whether unpacking Iron Age treaties or New Testament theology, we aim to clarify what the Bible actually says about how sin is addressed, covenant is upheld, and God draws near.
