At last weekend's EEM conference, Dr. Boyd said something that left several of us scratching our heads. When answering a question about the atonement, he said Christ "paid the penalty" for sin, as well as saying the merits of the atonement were like a "blank check." I was under the impression that Doc believed in the "Christus Victor" view of the atonement, not the penal substitution nor the sin-debt payment view.

I know he doesn't come around here much anymore, but could someone who knows clarify?

Thanks,

John Earp
