When it was first published in 2001, Cruciformity broke new ground with a vision of Pauline spirituality that illuminated what it meant to be a person or community in Christ. Beginning with Paul's express desire to "know nothing but Christ crucified, " Gorman showed how true spirituality is telling the story, in both life and words, of God's self-revelation in Jesus, so that we might practice "cruciformity"--the impossible possibility of conformity to the crucified Christ. Two decades later, Gorman's seminal work is still a powerful model for combining biblical studies and theological reflection to make Paul's letters more immediately relevant to contemporary Christian life. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes a new foreword by Nijay Gupta--a next-generation Pauline scholar heavily influenced by Gorman--as well as an afterword by the author, in which he reflects on the legacy of Cruciformity in the church and the academy, including his own subsequent work in Pauline theology.
