Contents:
Theology of the cross as contextual theology -- Engaging the world -- The crucified God -- The grandeur and misery of the human being -- Jesus Christ, and Him crucified -- The church and the cross -- The theology of the cross and the crisis of Christendom -- On being Christian today -- God's reign, creation's future.
Subject: In this small gem of theological reflection, North America's foremost "theologian of the cross" offers a profound and compelling contemplation on the relevance of the church's most fundamental confession. Hall ponders what confessing Jesus as crucified means in today's context, one that is postmodern, pluralistic, multicultural, and in some respects post-Christian. A digest of his monumental trilogy, this book lays out in brief compass the heart of Hall's theology of the cross, contrasting it sharply with the theology of established Christianity, showing how it reframes classical Christology and soteriology, and drawing the implications for what it means to be human, for Christian ethics, and for the church.
