The Wonder of the Resurrection

Scholar in Residence|The Reverend Dr. Suzanne Watts Henderson will explore the central claim of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus.

Let’s be honest: in our heart of hearts|most of us have wondered about the resurrection—about what really happened two thousand years ago|and what it means for us here today. Just us for a conversation with Suzanne Watts Henderson|our Scholar in Residence who’s a New Testament expert|an ordained minister|and now leads the Faith & Health sector for the national nonprofit|Interfaith America. We’ll learn a little about the religious diversity of Jesus’ day and what “resurrection” meant in the ancient world along with how we might embrace its mystery for those who follow the crucified and risen Christ in our place and time. As Henderson puts it|“Resurrection bears witness to the truth that|in a world marked by death-dealing forces (seen and unseen)|God’s spirit brings LIFE.”
