- What is the “life-formula” of the Atonement? (p.261)
- What was the suffering from which Jesus shrank in the Garden of Gethsemane if not the bodily torments he was about to endure? (p.262)
- Does Christ undergo his suffering unwillingly? (p.262)
- What happened to Christ’s soul after He died? (p.265)
- What is meant by the word hell in the Apostle’s Creed? What are three synonyms for this place? (p.265)
- How does Christ’s bodily Resurrection demonstrate complete victory over death? (p.266)
- How are the Resurrection and the Acension organically part of the Sacrifice of Christ?
- What is the consequence of thinking of the Truth as a person as opposed to merely an idea?
- If Christ’s prayer for the Church was that it be one as He and the Father are one, what do you think He thinks about all the denominational/intra-denominational division in the Christian community? Is there a remedy for this division?
- Some people claim that the Resurrection of Jesus was not a physical event but rather a spiritual event that takes place in the hearts of believers. Do you think this belief is compatible with authentic Christian faith? Why or why not?
