Ep 21: Why Did Jesus Die? (pt 3) // Atonement In The Old Testament

The word most commonly used to explain Jesus' death is "atonement". But what even is atonement? In this episode #21 of The Godwit Podcast with David Kowalick and Paul Smith we go right into looking at the concept of atonement in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Israelite sacrificial system, as a precursor for understanding how Jesus' death relates to atonement.

This 90 minute discussion is broken up into 2 videos. In this first video we discuss holiness as a key concept to understanding atonement; how atonement featured in establishing the priesthood and tabernacle in the Israelite camp; the significance of blood; and the beginning of discussing the sin offering.
