How Does the Orthodox Church Understand the Sacrifice of Christ?
Dr. Jeannie continues her discussion on Hebrews and focuses this week on how the Orthodox Church uses the epistle readings from Hebrews during Great Lent to prepare us for Holy Week, and especially to give us a theological explanation of the sacrifice of Christ. The word "atonement" does not exist either in Greek or in Hebrew. But the use of that English word suggests a certain understanding of the death of Christ as "payment" which is not found in Orthodox Christianity. So how does the Orthodox Church understand the sacrifice of Christ?
