Lenten Study: Understanding the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The Rev. Dr. Rick Floyd and Jeremy Ridenour are leading a six-week course during Lent to provide an overview of the doctrine of the atonement. Atonement theories provide a narrative to understand how the death and resurrection of Jesus saves us from sin, death, and evil. Throughout church history, there has never been a single, orthodox account of this doctrine, which has led to various metaphors, motifs, and narratives to explain how Jesus’s death and resurrection redeems. The group will review the history of the doctrine and will read portions of Rick’s book When I Survey the Wondrous Cross: Reflections on the Atonement.
