In this episode of Bible Streams, Chris and Jo sit down with Dr. Gary Schnittjer to explore the profound theme of atonement in the Old Testament. How did God’s plan for redemption take shape in ancient Israel, and what can we learn from it today? Join us as we dig deep into the sacrificial system, covenant theology, and the rich symbolism that foreshadows Christ’s ultimate atonement on the cross. Whether you’re a Bible scholar or just curious, this conversation will open your eyes to the depth and beauty of God’s Word. Don’t miss it!
