"With all due respect to those who insist that penal substitution is just one gospel metaphor of many, propitiation is in fact what holds together all the other biblical ways of talking about the cross."
-- D.A. Carson, in his excellent new book, "Scandalous: The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus" (Crossway), p.67
('Propitiation' means that in his death Christ endured the penalty of God's wrath in our place, so that we could be forgiven.)
