Adults: Despite the crucifixion’s central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus’ death saves, or why, exactly, he had to die. This is the fifth of a six-part series based on Adam Hamilton’s Why Did Jesus Have to Die? The Meaning of the Crucifixion. Chapter 5. “What Wondrous Love Is This”
