A Biblical Consideration of the extent and design of the atonement of Jesus, was it limited or universal?
It might help to consider the following from Owen before listening:
FOR WHO DID CHRIST DIE? John Owen
The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either:
1. All the sins of all men. 2. All the sins of some men, or 3. Some of the sins of all men.
In which case it may be said:
