458 What is Redemption, Really?

Redemption is a stock in trade Christian word. But what does redemption really mean? Mark and I talk through various biblical categories, examples, misunderstandings, and bad caricatures of redemption. On the latter, many church folk think that Christian salvation is death to the self and so, across two thousand years, all manner of bad doctrine has been spun out. Still more, the way the Bible presents it, redemption is a dynamic that wants to move into all of life. Too frequently American Christians stop at "getting saved." But redemption goes much deeper, moves beyond a one-time confession, and is actually the goal for the entire cosmos. Come laugh and think with us!
