I've been through this four times, and am looking forward to more.

Did you know that early chrisian art did not show Christ dead with eyes shut, nor bursting from the tomb? instead it showed a newly crucified Christ ALIVE with eyes open -- victorious over death!

And did you know that the "anastasis" easter icon shows US -- proxy-ed by Adam and Eve being pulled from hades -- BEING made alive in Christ!

First comes Christ the willing volunteer of a violent death. And then comes us suffering and supported by the peace of the Holy Spirit...and not fearing death.

Us after the 'form of his death' and sharing in the form of his resurrection. The true purpose of death revealed.
 
Check it out!!!

A retired calvinist pastor friend of mine replied:

Bruce,
 
Yes, I do know all that, because at the very time that you were (re)sending this link to Behr's lecture, I was listening to it (using a pair of airline earphones I'm able to get enough volume out of my laptop to hear it very well!).
 
It is quite a remarkably worked out theology of dying and rising to the new humanity!
 
I had also previously done a good bit of study about passion art thru the years, and how the crucifixion is depicted in different eras. I think that happened to an extent during the time that Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" (I never did see it!) was all the rage, and I found some articles by Frediricka Matthewes-Green in Christianity Today and other online sources.
 
The iconography of the anastasis was not as familiar to me - I found it fascinating how different it is not only from Western art but Western theology! Our fixation on questions about "did he really, physically come alive from the grave?" and "what kind of bodies are his and our resurrection bodies?" - I think all those preoccupations will make it hard for us to hear this emphasis.
 
Let me know how all of this can be worked into an Adult SS lesson! Let's keep talking.
