2020 Workshop Talk | 1:18:31 | 7-12, Literature
Summary
“Christ figures” are literary characters that resemble Jesus Christ in their attributes, actions, or experiences. Reading and teaching literature with an awareness of Christ figures leads to a better understanding of both our savior and the stories we enjoy. Case studies from classic literature will be presented to illustrate how prominent characters can resemble Christ. The benefits of this approach will be emphasized, including both an appreciation of the person and work of Christ and the imperative to model our daily lives on his life-changing story.
