I don’t understand the difference between Anselm and Calvin. Is God’s honour being affronted not identical to his wrath being aroused? And surely both goats typify Christ in different ways. Why the reluctance to say that the death of Christ propitiates the wrath of God against us sinners? Has not every sacrificial culture since the dawn of time understood this to be the very purpose of a sacrifice?
