Show Notes

In the first of two-parts on this topic, we explore the cross – the event which lies at the heart of the Christian Gospel. In this first part, we look at the many different ways the first Christians talked about it and why it seemed so foolish and scandalous. And we touch on an important question: why does talking about the cross make people so cross?

Make sure to check out Episode 51: The Mystery of the Cross – which  is a companion to this episode, and in which we explore some of the main explanations of what the cross is all about.
