Lesson 6

A word-study class taking three Greek terms in one sitting. Josh Higgins reads a description of what Roman crucifixion actually did to a body, including a first-century victim whose wrist bone was grooved by the nail, then asks the class what "cross" has come to mean to them. Doxa moves from the classical sense of reputation to a glory that is visible and belongs to God alone, and tetelestai turns out to be the everyday word stamped on paid receipts. Class discussion runs throughout.
