As we move from Hosannas to the Passion and Holy Week, there is no Agape. Come directly to the Forum to reflect on some of the ways Christians have understood what happened on the cross, and why.What are some of the images, metaphors, and explanations that the New Testament writers and early Church thinkers used as they struggled to comprehend this great mystery? Why is it important for us to engage with these traditions? How might we simultaneously respect the mystery and “unknowing” of the crucifixion, and articulate why the cross matters to us?
