Week 4

Person 1:
  • Substitutionary vs. participatory atonement? - difficulty understanding what participatory means.
  • sacrifice of Lamb - people are saved; becomes food for journey
  • comparison: Passover & Last Supper 
  • participation: living out His words in our actions; feeding the 5000 - loaves & fishes (disciples participation)
  • distributive justice - new testament
Person 2:
  • 4 rich meanings of Last Supper
    • meals as worship & way of breaking social boundries
    • Echo of feeding 5000
    • Exodus
    • Body & Blood
  • Not an eyewitness account
  • Daniel
  • Participation with Christ
  • Meals
    • Distribution Justice
    • Compassion does not create community
    • If you distribute - God will multiply
    • We have to honor who we are
Person 3:
  • NOT eyewitness - could have been a "hearing"
  • Bread of presence (shekinah) from another source (=anybody's side of it is as good as another
  • participation = communion
  • bread = material basis of existence
    • = central to survival (along with debt)
    • = justice
  • Messiah = Kingdom of God = challenge to empire = Mark's message
    • Messiah - Son of Man - anti-imperial
