Lenten Book Study

One of our favorite Methodist authors, Adam Hamilton, has recently written another amazing book that is perfect for a Lenten study. He offers keen insight into Christ’s life and death. Despite the crucifixion’s central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus’ death saves., or why, exactly, he had to die. The New Testament writers use a host of metaphors—ransom, sacrifice, reconciliation, victory—but never explain exactly how it works or why it had to happen this way.

What if that’s because we’ve been asking the wrong question? What if the cross isn’t a transaction to be explained, but a living Word from God meant to transform who we are and how we live?
