Book: Forsaken by Thomas McCall

Buy "Forsaken" on Amazon!

Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection is the central event in the Christian story. What we believe about what happens in this short period shapes everything else we believe. Little has been more confusing for many Christians than what happened when Jesus died.

When Jesus is on the cross, he cries out

My God, My God! Why have you forsaken me?

What did Jesus mean when he called out those words? How we answer that question informs a lot of what we believe: who we understand God to be, what our relationship with God looks like, how we live out our faith in the world.
