That's exactly right, Expiation is the washing away of sin without dealing with God's animosity. However one of the reasons you'd use Expiation instead of Propitiation is if you want to deny that God is angry at our sin. If Jesus' death was just an Expiation then obviously God wasn't angry in the first place. But if Jesus' death was a Propitiation then God was and indeed still is angry at us for our sin. And it's only by Jesus death that his right anger at Sin is satisfied. <em>Hmmm I should get around to finishing that blog on the anger of God that I promised to write...</em> Hey Sam, inciteful question.
