The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Doctrine of the Atonement

For those of you who have read the February Article of the Month I wondered if you could help me to see what influences, past and present that the "moral-influence theory" has and is having? You might add to that the governmental theory. Machen explains what each of these are but I would like to know how they have influenced religion in the past and more importantly, how they may be influencing religion today.
