Episode 159: Brian Zahnd on the Cross in Christian Theology

Join us for our interview with Brian Zahnd on his recently released book, "The Wood Between the Worlds: A Poetic Theology of the Cross" (IVP, 2024). Following a pilgrimage where he spent time contemplating the crucifix in many different churches, Zahnd realized the kaleidoscopic possibilities behind an interpretation to and an emotional response to such imagery, leading to the publishing of this book. In an interesting and engaging interview, Zahnd discusses his inspirations, his life as a Christian, and even the Lord of the Rings.

Hope you enjoy this conversation!
