Note: The speaker quotes from Thomas Andrew Bennett’s The Labor of God:The Agony of the Cross as the Birth of the Church (Baylor University, 2017) at the 15:45 mark. While this quotation and attribution were projected during the presentation, attribution is not included in the audio. The following quotation was used: “Crucifixion (an inherently violent, damaging, degrading practice) becomes childbirth—a sacred, generative, and transforming kind of suffering” (45).
