Acquainted with Grief
Description
After describing his birth, the Creed notes that Jesus Christ "suffered under Pontius Pilate," thus providing a historical context for the crucifixion. In this program, Christian theologians discuss this and other aspects of Jesus' death, giving lucid explanations of difficult spiritual concepts. Topics include the focus of Christianity on suffering and death; spiritual despair; the meaning of crucifixion in the ancient world, and how each of the four canonical Gospels interpret Christ's death; Old Testament antecedents of the symbolism of Christ as a blood sacrifice; the importance of Christ's physical death to human redemption; and various interpretations of Jesus' descent into hell.
