The death and resurrection of Jesus - Good Friday and Easter - are utterly central to Christianity and have been from the first century. But how do we understand them now, in the 21st century? Marcus Borg, much read historian of Jesus and Christian origins, shares his understanding of the death and resurrection of Jesus and their meaning to the early church in this faith-stretching series. Two questioners help him explore the issues. Borg helps us make sense of the events surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection that may have puzzled us. In a straightforward and gracious way, he directs the viewer away from doctrines and toward a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
