When Christians say, “Jesus died on the cross for your sins,” what does that mean?
American Gospel: Christ Crucified explores the divide between conservative and progressive Christians as they debate the meaning of the cross of Jesus Christ, answering some of the Bible’s most difficult questions: What is the God of the Bible like?
