Pastor Hill and Pastor Cronkright introduce The Cross of Reality: Luther's Theologia Crucis and Bonhoeffer's Christology by H. Gaylon Barker. Over the next few episodes, we will be working through the influences of Dietrich and how his Christology formed his theology.

We revisit Episode 1 of the Jesus, Dietrich, and Me Podcast by discussing this great quote: 

"We are not to simply bandage the wounds of the victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself."

Don't worry, Pastor Hill is back next week ;)

We close out our discussion on Creation and Fall by discussing the tension that Adam, and now we, live in between the curse of God (suffering) and the promise of God (deliverance).

"Did God really say?" This is the question that begins all questions. We talk about the importance of God's Word and how Satan loves to put us in positions to question the authority of God's Word.

On the 50th episode, we read what Dietrich has to say about Eve and what significance this has for Adam and marriage. Eve is God's gift of grace to Adam.

God has created the heavens and the earth. He has created distinctions, days, animals, plants, and the cosmos. But none bear His image. It's time for God to create man. What does this mean for us?

We continue working our way through Creation and Fall, discussing creation myths, animal possession, and the Light of the World, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In 1932 and 1933, Dietrich delivered a series of lectures during the Winter Semester at the University of Berlin. His students demanded these lectures be recorded and published, thus producing Creation and Fall. We start our journey today through this beautifully complex work at The Beginning.

We take a look at Dietrich's sermon from 1934 given in London. What is love and why do we love?

**Side note from Tyler** - I mistakenly say that Paul was stoned at Laodicea, thinking of Colossians, when I actually was referring to Acts 14 when Paul is stoned at Lystra, and then goes back.

The pastors and Nick continue the discussion of grace. Cheap or Costly? The answer is "yes."
