Jesus, Wendell, and Henri - Part Five: Cross

It’s Part Five of SALT’s six-part “Strange New World” miniseries, “Jesus, Wendell, and Henri.”

Why was Jesus, an unarmed, peasant rabbi, seen as such a threat to the powers that be (including the mighty Roman Empire) that they had him killed?

The prophet Ezekiel gives us a clue, and Berry’s poem about resurrection and Matisse’s transformative painting shed light on the deep meanings of the cross.

Happy listening,
