Answering the Most Common Criticisms of the Cross and Resurrection

How do you explain the cross to someone who has no category for sin, atonement, or sacrifice? Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller tackle the most common objections to Christianity’s central claims, from the “barbaric” nature of penal substitution to skeptics who dismiss the resurrection as legend or borrowed mythology, and more.
