What is Unicode? Part II
In Part I of "What is Unicode?" we learned why Unicode will help you, my target audience, type Greek and Hebrew. Now let's get more specific. When you hit the "a" key on your keyboard, your computer tells Microsoft Word, let's say, to output not "a" but "0041." Then Word checks which font you're using and supplies the character that font ties to "0041." In Arial, that's "a." But in the BibleWorks Greek font, that's alpha ("α").

Philemon and the Moral Influence Theory of the Atonement
Because of Romans 1-5 and 1 Cor 15:3ff., I believe that penal substitution is the central motif under which we should view the atonement. Just because other views are championed by men who deny or downplay penal substitution does not, however, mean that all of those other motifs are invalid. Christ certainly defeated the powers of the evil one (the Christus Victor view), and, yes, His death is an example (the moral influence view). What kind of influence should the atonement have?
