Nadia Bolz-Weber has been the Pastor of “House for Sinners and Saints” in Denver since its inception in 2008. She is the author of a 2008 book, Salvation on the Small Screen. Nadia regularly blogs on SarcasticLutheran.com.
For Nadia, the cross tells us as much about the nature of God as it does about the state of humanity. “When we really look, we see who God is in how God chose to reveal God’s self in a cradle and on a cross”.
The cross sits at the center of our faith, and yet our understanding of what exactly happened on that cross remains conflicted and confusing. Was Jesus our proxy? The payment? The only way to appease an angry God? Nadia Bolz-Weber reminds us that our theories about the cross tell us as much about ourselves and our view of God as they do about Jesus and salvation.
