Here is a wonderful book (by a roman catholic no less) defending and identifying PSA in the fathers. also if you dont want to read you can get alot of it from the various videos he has done on the topic like this. without talking about it I cant know but i think that if you say PSA isnt in the fathers you havent read the right fathers or you have a very particular evangelical fundamentalist version of PSA. Vicarious satisfaction is 100% in the fathers; the emphasis on the Father punishing the Son that sometimes exists in the evangelical world is not particularly Lutheran. we would instead speak of a blessed exchange. Luther liked to use the imagery of marriage where in our union with Christ, His infinite wealth pays our our debt. God bless your discernment, and be comforted knowing that the faithful EO are also saved so you cant really fail the test even if you get the answer wrong.
