Sunday Seminar – How God Saves Us

Starts: Sunday, April 1st 2012 at 11:30 am
Ends: Sunday, April 1st 2012 at 1:00 pm

This six-week series is based on Pro­fessor Gregory Love’s recent work, Love, Violence and the Cross: How the Nonviolent God Saves Us through the Cross of Christ. The book can be pur­chased through wipfandstock.com, or Amazon.com (including a Kindle version). Reading the book before, or concurrent, with the series will greatly enhance what you get out of the class­es, though you can get plenty from just attending the series.

April 1 “Jesus, the Securer of Meaning.” The human condition is burdened not only by sin, but also by great suffer­ing and even tragedy. If God is to save us, God must overturn not only our sin, but also tragedy. This last model, which is my own creation, I show how God overcomes tragedy in Jesus, thus providing the promise of meaning in the midst of our loss and despair. (Chs. 10-11.)
