On Consequentialist vs Retributivist Theories of Justice

Dr. Craig answers a question regarding retributive, reparative, and consequentialist theories of justice 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.  For the entirety of the lecture and Q&A; time watch here: https://youtu.be/1FylkutYePk
