The Attributes of God - Chapter 2: Christ Crucified
Episode 2
In order fully understand the gospel, we must first understand who God is.

Love Wins - Chapter 3: Christ Crucified

A Balanced God - Chapter 4: Christ Crucified
Episode 4
Are God's attributes of love and wrath compatible? This chapter compares the progressive dualistic (either/or) view of God's attributes to the biblical non-dual (both/and) view, arguing that the God of the Old Testament does not evolve, or is not different from the God of the New Testament.

Saved From God - Chapter 5: Christ Crucified
Episode 5
Does God love the sinner but hate the sin? Is the sinner separated from God in hell? How does fear play into our motivations in following Christ? How can God be just, and yet justify wicked sinners? What are we saved from?

Episode 6
Is penal substitution only a recent "theory" of the atonement? How do we understand other images or interpretations of the atonement?

Cosmic Child Abuse - Chapter 7: Christ Crucified
Episode 7
Does the doctrine of penal substitution reveal a God who is abusive? How essential is the trinity in understanding the atonement? Why does God need to kill anyone in order to forgive? Does true forgiveness require a payment or sacrifice?

Why Have You Forsaken Me? - Chapter 8: Christ Crucified
Episode 8
How was Jesus forsaken on the cross? What was in the cup?

— Matthew 26:39About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud vo...

The Path to Humanism - Chapter 9: Christ Crucified
Episode 9
If you’ve deconstructed your faith to the point of denying that God has wrath against sin, that Christ died for your sins as your substitute, and that He resurrected from the dead, why would you still identify as a Christian?
-
For the Glory of God Alone - Chapter 10: Christ Crucified
Episode 10
What was God's motivation for saving man? A man-centered answer to this question destroys grace and cheapens the love of God. The true gospel humbles man and gives glory to God alone.
