Ep50.7 Seven Last Words: ”Father, into your hands...” with W. Travis McMaken

To celebrate 50 episodes of the Love Rinse Repeat podcast, Liam Miller interviewed seven guests about Jesus' seven last words from the cross.

Here, Travis McMaken discusses the final words, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit". This commendation signifies the climax of the relationship between the Spirit and Jesus throughout Luke, and the shift to the ongoing role of the Spirit in the lives of those who follow after.

W. Travis McMaken is Associate Professor of Religion, Chair of the Interdisciplinary Studies program, and Assistant Dean of Humanities in the School of Humanities at Lindenwood University's St. Charles, MO campus.

He engages primarily with 20th century theology (esp. Protestant theology, with specialization in Karl Barth, Helmut Gollwitzer, and T. F. Torrance) while working constructively on the subjects of sacramentology, ecclesiology, and political theology. He is the author of Our God Loves Justice: An Introduction to Helmut Gollwitzer (Fotress Press 2017), The Sign of the Gospel: Toward an Evangelical Doctrine of Infant Baptism after Karl Barth (Fortress Press, 2013), and coeditor of Karl Barth in Conversation (2014).
