About this listen
This week on The Road to the Cross, Tim and Steve dive into one of the most influential ideas in Western Christianity: original sin. How did a fifth-century theory by Augustine come to dominate our understanding of salvation, the cross, and even our identity?
Tracing the theology from Eden to empire, they uncover a progression that reshaped how many Christians understand God's character—introducing fear, shame, and legalism into what was meant to be good news.
📌 Highlights include:
- The history and impact of Augustine’s doctrine of original sin
- Why translation errors in Romans 5 changed everything
- What the early church believed about humanity’s nature
- Why PSA (Penal Substitutionary Atonement) became dominant—and what's missing
- How recovering a restorative gospel can reshape your faith
This is Part 1 of a two-part exploration of atonement theories—don’t miss next week’s episode as we examine Christus Victor.
💡 If you’ve ever felt like the gospel was more about shame than restoration, this conversation is for you.
