Cost: FREE PROMOTIONAL CLASS!

This is a weekly seminar, Monday evenings in Lent (March 2-30) 7:00-8:30pm.

The story at the heart of Christianity is one of an angry God sentencing his son to die a cruel and gruesome death to somehow appease his wrath against all humanity. Or at least that’s how it’s been told. How can we come to grips with a God like that? How could a God who stands for justice and love abandon his child to such a fate? This course will introduce you to a broad array of ways that Christians throughout the centuries have understood the meaning of Jesus’ death. We’ll explore these ideas carefully and fearlessly so that you can develop an understanding of the cross that coheres with your sense of justice and nourishes your spirituality.
