Dr. Collin Cornell is a professor of Bible and Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary. Our conversation for this episode is based on a forthcoming article by Collin that puts some question marks over the grand biblical narrative many of us have come to take for granted. For me, the topic of fellowship as it relates to Christology speaks to the (almost irreverent) question I sometimes have hanging over my head, which is: Why Jesus? Did Jesus come to us incarnate just to serve some utilitarian purpose in his death and resurrection? What else is present in the story of his life and how does that effect how we interact with him as Creator God and Savior?
