  • Jesus’ death and resurrection are at the core of the Christian faith; our relationship with God and our future hope hinge on these events.
    But how should we understand them theologically? And specifically, how do Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplish our salvation? In this course, we will examine Scripture and historical theories of the atonement. We will gain a deeper understanding of Christ’s work, with the primary aim of exploring how this understanding can practically shape our lives and ministry.
