Glenn M. Miller, “Redemption in the New Testament,” The Great Irruption: Christ’s Work on the Cross
Anthony says,
If you can, r(e-r)ead "Redemption", at Ask Dr. Cobb, Process and Faith (http://www.processandfaith.org/askcobb/2006/04-redemption.shtml)
Finally, be prepared to discuss a character/group of characters from a fictional artistic work--in film, tv show, literature, theatre, or art--who acts as a redemptive force in the world. To preface your remarks, be prepared to give a very brief summary of the story/artwork. Even though I'm sure it's a disservice, please try to keep your sharing time capped at 5 minutes. I'm banking some time for discussion of each person's choice.

I just ran across this and thought that it fit (if a bit tangentially) into our conversation tonight. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/31/health/31case.html?_r=1
I know it's not Easter yet, but here's a small taste of it (bad pun intended--you'll see).

That's a wonderful story you posted Caci. Thanks for sharing it!
So in the Old Testament study, we discussed the Suffering Servant of Isaiah. Like many of the other figures within the visions of the prophets, the suffering servant was a personification of Israel as a whole.
Luke reimagines the suffering servant and the Kingdom toward which it points, but I think it keeps true to the universal openness of the Kingdom imagined by the prophetic text.
Unrelated, APM's Speaking of Faith microblogged on its Facebook status the following: "Truth is shattered into a thousand pieces when God throws it down to earth." (Link).
A book just published this year looks promising as a survey of atonement from a variety of theological perspectives and ending with his own perspective that utilizes theological tools of the Paraclete (Advocate/Holy Spirit) and han (a very complex Korean term for suffering).
