Limitless Spirit Podcast: Brian Zahnd on the meaning of the cross
Description
Why did Jesus have to die on the cross?
Brian Zahnd, pastor and author of "The Wood Between the Worlds," talks with host Helen Todd about the intricate dimensions of the mystery of the cross, including capital punishment, war, and the distinction between divine and human violence. Hear about the early church's evolving perspectives on these contentious topics and Brian's position on how the cross embodies God’s forgiveness through enduring human violence, rather than divine retribution. They also touch on the aesthetic and contemplative aspects of the cross, highlighting its beauty and spiritual significance, while Brian gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming work, "Paths of Unseen Existences."
