Saturday, January 27
2:00-5:00 p.m.
council room
Professor Vitor Westhelle, Professor of Systematic Theology at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
Drawing on Biblical studies, linguistics, historical context, an evolving understanding of the cross, and Luther’s theology of the cross Vitor Westhelle, in The Scandalous God: The Use and Abuse of the Cross, shows how scandalous the cross and Jesus’ crucifixion is. Through poetry and literature, Westhelle concludes the book by leading the reader to new “stations of the cross” and where we get stuck as we move among the stations, to the practice of resurrection.
Pastor Westhelle will preach on Sunday, January 28 at 8:30
and 10:50 a.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church.
He will also conduct the Sunday Forum at 9:45 a.m.
