Book Description
What is the meaning of the cross today for the suffering millions - victims of hunger, war, and racism - and for Christians who seek to understand their faith? For the last four years, members of the Institute for Ecumenical Research in Strasbourg have explored the theology of the cross, working with theologians from various countries and confessional backgrounds. Their study was ecumenical and included traditional Western interpretations as well as those from so-called third world countries and traditionally underrepresented groups. In The Scandal of a Crucified World editor Yacob Tesfai (Eritrea) first provides an overview of how theology comes to terms with the cross of Jesus throughout the world. Jean-Marc Ela (Cameroon) reflects on Christ's life and passion, while Simon Maimela outlines Martin Luther's theology of the cross and its relevance for present-day struggles in South Africa. James H. Cone reflects passionately on the suffering that characterizes African-American life in the United States. From Asia, Andreas A. Yewangoe (Indonesia) provides an overview on attitudes toward suffering in the variety of Asian religions. C. S. Song (Taiwan) reviews the role of the cross in the history of Christian missions, struggling with the image of the cross as means of conquest. From Latin America, Walter Altmann (Brazil) highlights the images of Jesus Christ that accompanied the domination of indigenous peoples. Winston D. Persaud (Guyana) explores the place of the cross in the lives of individual Christians as well as in the life of the church. From Europe Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel (Germany) lifts up feminist images of the cross as solidarity in suffering and as struggle againststructural sin. Theo Sundermeier (Germany) uses Martin Luther's theology of the cross to explore non-Western thought on the meaning of the cross.

Book Description
Jesus is a cripple (blind in one eye, limping and dwarfish). He did not die on the cross, but gulled Judas Iscariot into dying on the cross in place of him. He laughed up his sleeve at the crucified one. The “official” part of Judas Iscariot as the purported “betrayer” escorting the troops to the delinquent also was screened by another double: Simon of Cyrene. At least two times more he escaped from the death penalty by a stuntman.

Book Description
The cross carries the polar memories of history. One memory is the terrible violence imposed on Jesus, and the other is the memory of faith in the midst of the deepest abyss in human history. A theology of the cross contextualizes the dangerous combination of these memories in the present reality of life and death. A theology of the cross is thoroughly preoccupied with the agency of God, but not in a way that deals with the systematic apologetics of the knowledge of God. It deals with the knowledge of God before it becomes knowledge. It is the matter of the living and dying of our life. This book explores theologians of the cross in a global flow and proposes an intercontextual perspective of theology.

Book Description
How could the life, let alone the death, of one man 2,000 years ago be the salvation of the human race? Donald Macleod explains the centrality of the atonement in Christian faith and experience, using seven key words to describe what happened on the cross: substitution, expiation, propitiation, reconciliation, satisfaction, redemption and victory.

Book Description
For the first-century Roman world the cross was first and foremost an instrument of shameful and violent execution. But early Christians, who had seen their world upended by the atoning power of the cross of Christ, came to view it in an entirely different light. Deeply scandalous, it was paradoxically glorious. For the cross of Christ marked the epochal saving event in God's dealings with Israel and the world. And its meaning could not be fathomed or encircled by a single image or formulation. Since its publication in 2000, Recovering the Scandal of the Cross has initiated among evangelicals a new conversation about the nature of the atonement and how it should be expressed in the varied and global contexts of today. In this second edition Green and Baker have clarified and enlarged their argument in a way that will continue to provoke thought and conversation on this critical topic.

Book Description
Because many modern Christians can offer a reasonable explanation of the meaning of Jesus' death on the cross, they find it hard to understand the confusion displayed by the disciples after the events in the last pages of the Gospels. But if Paul were alive today, he would find it inexplicable that we modern believers are not scandalized by the cross. Proclaiming the Scandal of the Cross introduces pastors, church leaders, students, and lay readers to the need for contextualized atonement theology, offering creative examples of how the cross can be proclaimed today in culturally relevant and transformative ways. It makes helpful suggestions on how this vision for a culturally relevant message might be developed. The impressive list of contributors includes writings from C. S. Lewis, Rowan Williams, Frederica Mathewes-Green, Brian McLaren, and many more who are actively working out just how to make this life-transforming proclamation.
