There is a useful discussion on the Illumined Heart, an Orthodox radio show, of differing models of the atonement (54 mins).

Kevin and Steve discuss the rich array of interpretations of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross with Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Dr. Joel B. Green, of Asbury Theological Seminary (Methodist-Wesleyan), and why the reduction of this variety to a single, exclusive view of the atonement – the penal substitutionary model – poses its own scandal, one that is foreign to the New Testament! Buckle up your seat belts!

Joel Green, along with Mark Baker, recently wrote “The Scandal of the Cross” (IVP: 2000) and is worth hearing.Listen here, but do take the time to look around the podcast too. There is plenty of good stuff.
