Christus Victor is a beautiful and biblical doctrine, but Aulén's treatment is total anachronism that butchers both Christus Victor and penal substitutionary atonement by falsely presenting them as competing alternatives.

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 15) 00:59:12 – 01:00:13

Final comment on the Christus Victor / PSA debate, wrapping up question 20.

Mike maintains that Christus Victor (Christ's victory over sin, death, and the devil) and penal substitutionary atonement are complementary, not competing. Aulén's false dichotomy is neither historical nor biblical. Mike references his own multi-part series on PSA as a more responsible treatment.
