Product Description
How should we understand the meaning of the cross of Christ in such a way that is true to the New Testament witness and also to our contemporary cultural contexts?
In this stimulating and provocative book a prominent New Testament scholar and a theologian team up to address that very question. They provide an accessible introduction to the diverse theologies of the cross in the New Testament, down through the history of the church and on into the contemporary world.
With three chapters on the cross in the New Testament, examinations of the main historical models of atonement, and case studies in contemporary atonement theologies from Japan, Britain, Tanzania, the United States, as well as feminist theologies of the cross, this book is an unusually broad introduction. Instead of simply offering 'the' definitive explanation of the cross suitable for all times and all cultures, Recovering the Scandal of the Cross aims to teach readers how to think theologically for themselves in ways that are both creative and yet faithful to the inspired biblical testimony.
