St Peter's @ the Pod

Why did Jesus have to die? SP@tPod #7

In this special Holy Week episode, Mike and Jon devote the whole discussion to thinking about the theology of the death of Jesus - why it had to happen and what it accomplished. Listen in, and if you want to make it further the books they mention are:

- Jane Williams, Why did Jesus have to die?

- Richard Bauckham, God Crucified: Monotheism and Christology in the New Testament

- Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ

 

Next month, normal podcast will resume. Remember, you can ask the guys anything by e-mailing pod@chesterstpeter.org.uk

Telling God the Truth: Learning to Lament SP@tPod #6

Have you ever tried to be honest with God about the things that hurt? Or what it's like when he feels absent? Or when we can't explain why something has gone wrong?
