Lenten Preaching Workshop

Monday, January 17, 2022

8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Shadows of the Cross

In this Lent series, Dr. Peperkorn will trace the cross and atonement through the Old Testament, particularly some of the major narratives, such as the sacrifice of Isaac and the bronze serpent. Particular attention will be paid to why it is important in preaching the cross and resurrection that our Lord have a body (corpus) in art and imagery. A special lecture will be included on how to introduce the crucifix into the art and worship of the Lutheran congregation.
