Reading (most of) The Crucified God in my first year at Durham killed off any lingering attachment I might have had to penal substitution. The Cross is very important to me, but as a culmination of the Incarnation, and the idea of interpreting anything about Jesus' ministry apolitically makes no sense to me- as does treating the Resurrection like the prize tacked on to the end rather than the entire point and driving purpose of everything.
Heh, I am really starting to feel my almost total lack of grounding in systematics here *retreats into weird languages*.
