Contemplate the event at the heart of Christianity.

In this course, N.T. Wright argues that Jesus’s death on the cross was not only to provide forgiveness of sins; it was also the beginning of a revolution commissioning God's people to a new vocation. Understood within the larger story of God’s purposes to bring heaven and earth together, the crucifixion calls believers to be responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God’s creation. Uncovering the grand picture of Jesus’s sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian faith, you'll be inspired by a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope.
