Hard core Jesus = Hard-core gospel

[sydneyanglicans.net] 18 Aug 2008--This is an extract from a talk Mark Driscoll gave in Edinburgh, Scotland in November last year which caused some controversy.

Jesus is our ‘propitiation’. This word appears four times in the Greek New Testament. Most translations don’t include it. They say, “People don’t know what the word ‘propitiation’ means”, so they put in other words like ‘sacrifice of atonement’. [But] people don’t know what those words mean either! So I don’t think it helps. Use the word. It’s a good word.
