Marc Cortez has a short piece here on one of my bugbears – the attribution to Anselm of the penal substitutionary view of Christ’s atonement, along with the assumption that it was a medieval invention, perhaps applicable in the culture of the time but not now.
As Cortez says, ‘there's just one problem with this: it’s wrong’ – for two important reasons:
1. Anselm Did Not Teach Penal Substitution
2. Penal Substitution Existed Long Before Anselm
