In this Theology Lab video, Greg Boyd explores one of the most pressing questions in Christian faith: Are the toughest Scriptures actually pointing us to Jesus? From difficult Old Testament passages to challenging New Testament teachings, Boyd invites viewers into a nuanced and faithful way of reading the Bible, one that keeps the life, death (especially the cross) and resurrection of Christ at the center. This conversation is perfect for anyone drawn to theological learning, a curious faith, and contextual Bible study that takes hard questions seriously. Boyd offers tools for engaging difficult texts without abandoning trust in God's character, highlighting how even the hardest passages can point toward the cross of Jesus Christ.
