Dream of the Rood - Part Two

from Institute of Catholic Culture · host Ben Reinhard, Ph.D.

When the Anglo-Saxon barbarians converted to Christianity in the seventh century, they were immediately forced to grapple with the paradoxes of their new religion. How could God suffer and die—and why would we worship such a God? What could His death do for us? The struggle to find an answer produced The Dream of the Rood: an ancient poem that allows us to see the Passion in a new light.
