The cross was central to the faith and experience of early Christians. Paul even distilled his message into 2 words: Christ crucified. Many of us have understood the cross one way for much of our lives, seeing Jesus’ violent death as atoning for our sin, absorbing God’s punishment on our behalf. How do we look to the cross as Progressive Christians?
