| Riepilogo: | Garry Williams responds to Michael Lynch's critique of his chapters in From Heaven He Came and Sought Her. The response focuses on Lynch's claim that Williams unduly narrows the definition of classical penal substitutionary atonement to bounds set by John Owen. It shows that Williams did not include in his definition Owen's account of Christ bearing the same [idem) as sinners deserved, and thus did not exclude major Reformed authors. Rather, Williams argued that the classical doctrine identifies Christ's sufferings with the actual sins of real persons, a criterion fulfilled by the authors. The idem question is seen to be more subtle than Lynch allows. The idea of a non-quantifiable specificity in the sufferings of Christ is restated. Significant findings emerge for the importance of imputation and transfer to penal substitutionary atonement, and for articulating the different senses in which Christ bore (or did not) the idem as sinners deserved. |
