1:00:23Now PlayingWhy is the Ascension often the "forgotten" pillar of the Christian faith? In this episode of the Faith Roundtable, Pastor Josh Burtram sits down with Dr. Ross Hastings to discuss his book, The Glory of the Ascension, and why Jesus’ seat at the right hand of the Father changes everything for our theology, our ethics, and our daily lives.
Dr. Ross Hastings—the Sangwoo Yutong Chi Professor of Theology at Regent College—brings a unique perspective as a scholar with doctorates in both Chemistry and Theology. Together, we explore the "humanity of God," the high priestly ministry of Jesus, and how a proper understanding of the Ascension helps us navigate modern challenges like AI, medical ethics, and the intersection of science and faith.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The "Eclipse of the Ascension" and why it is often overshadowed by the Cross and Resurrection.
- The literal and theological significance of Jesus’ embodied presence in heaven.
- How the Ascension serves as the celebration of the Atonement.
- The intersection of Quantum Physics and the resurrected body.
- Ethical implications of being "fully human" in a digital age.
