The Cross in Our Context: Jesus and the Suffering World

Very difficult reading if your not used to Theological reading in general and Hall in particular. But, definitely worth the read. Presents some good ideas.

I have been really moved by this book. I have been challenged to entirely alter my engagement with the world around me. Hall's insights are clearly encouraging to anyone wanting to engage with society around them. The last 25% Hall goes off the rails. He questions the sayings of Christ, the authority of the Bible, and Gods final revelation of him self through his Son. A universalist in every way.Tim

Yada yada yada from an academician. Whatever is here has been said better, even by Jesus in the Bible. "Whatever you do to the least of your (suffering) brothers, you do unto me." Take that and draw it out to a couple hundred pages of Sophistry (an intended insult as the author doesn't like the Greek influence in the gospel) and that is that.

Excellent book I read in seminary but can be ready by anyone.

Fast delivery. Good price.

Hall's book is thought provoking.

good reading

The cross and not the resurrection is central to evangelical theology (meaning Lutheran )
