Something Neat to Investigate: The Religious Studies Center

This is just a short little post about BYU's Religious Studies Center. The center publishes various books and research about Mormons, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, temples, history, and more. They also have a really interesting blog that I keep up with. The most recent post is from a religion professor writing on Good Friday. I found it to be especially good to reflect on around Easter time. One of my favorite points that was brought up was the idea of the cross being also a symbol of life (a Tree of Life bearing the fruit of eternal life). As Christ says in John 12:32, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." As Christ was lifted up, He became high enough to lift the rest of us, too!

Happy Easter!
