This unit of study focuses on the theological achievement of God through the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. We will be studying the biblical teaching about the cross from both the Old and New Testament as well as exploring the theological implications of this teaching. As we do so, we will see that the emphasis the Bible places on the work of Christ in his suffering and death is at the very heart of the Christian message and theology. Throughout the unit, we will also engage with the reflections of various classical and contemporary theologians on this doctrine to clarify and categorise our understanding of the Bible’s teaching.
