Shalom,
I am familiar with penal substitution and EO view of the incarnation. But Christus Victor is unconvincing, perhaps even confusing. Doesn't this idea make Jesus look like a cunning lawyer sneaking one past Satan? Not attacking this view, but that's how many people may feel.
Hope the more knowledgeable ones can shed some light on this.
Regards,
Simon
