The depth of Pauline theology extends well beyond traditional interpretations and individual word studies, reaching into the very core of the Christian lived experience. Central to this theological journey is the concept of cruciformity, how the cross becomes both the shape and the source of salvation.
Join host Scott McKnight and his guest Michael Gorman, a revered scholar in New Testament studies and contributor to the DPL2, as they discuss on the extensive bibliography of the DPL2 and explore how this concept of cruciformity fostered a newfound joy in the early Church communities and continues to influence Christian thought and practice today.
