Theology begins with the experience of faith. Faith then seeks words to understand this newly found, this strange, this mysterious yet liberating and life-enhancing reality. So, 'on the way' with Jesus, an important phrase in the Gospel of Mark, the question becomes inevitable: Who is this Jesus in whom I have believed?

Some of Jesus' most powerful experiences happened on the road.  We could say that Jesus spent his whole life on the road.  He was born on a road trip, he died on a road trip, and one of his most dramatic post-resurrection appearances was on the road to Emmaus.  During Holy Week 2010, we will explore the significance of Jesus' experiences and teachings on the road as he moves toward the cross, and examine what they might mean for us today.
