Is the Rejection of Penal Substitution Demanded by Roman Catholic Soteriology?

Dr. Craig answers a question regarding Catholic doctrine and penal substitution following a presentation of his paper defending the Reformers’ doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement against the attacks of some contemporary critics, namely, Eleonore Stump. This lecture was given at the annual joint conferences of the Evangelical Theological/Philosophical Societies in November 2017 where Dr. Craig joined a panel of other speakers. The conference theme was the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.
