Michael S. Heiser on Extent of the atonement
No position located in this corpus
Searched in the sources read for this figure and not found. A limit of the reading rather than a claim about the figure — a source not yet read could settle it.
THE POSITION
No statement located on the scope of the atonement. He addresses its nature rather than its extent, and even there is working out terminology in public: he writes that he believes in the concept of penal substitution while adding that he is going to question the terminology a bit, and settles for now on the traditional nomenclature.
