In episode #5 of the podcast we take a deep dive into one of the most important atonement passages in the New Testament. What does “hilasterion” (often translated "propitiation") really mean? Is God the one being propitiated, or is He offering humanity a gift?

We explore the original meaning of the word in both Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, the true nature of God’s justice, and why this passage may not be saying what many assume. A fresh look at justice, faithfulness, and reconciliation that challenges common assumptions about the cross.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how God can be both just and the justifier, this episode is for you.
