Crux
BücherAngebote / Angebote:
What was Jesus hoping to accomplish by laying down his life for his friends? And what has his death on the cross 2000 years ago got to do with us today? These are the questions CRUX answers, by re-examining the place of the story of the cross in the process of transformation. This book contends that the cross has the power to inspire a faith that can challenge the status quo and infuse our work for love and justice with infinite significance, and that the cross - and the unique critique, charisma, and catalyst it equips us with - is at the crux of any struggle for genuine personal, social, and political change.
Dave Andrews has long been a voice of passion, grace and truth for those who seek to follow the radical way of the cross of Christ. These provocative essays exploring the story of the cross ought to become a highlight of his already brilliant writings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these essays to anyone questioning the meaning of the cross, those wanting to better understand the relevance of Jesus' death for kingdom mission today, or those who simply wish to be challenged and transformed by Jesus' revolutionary love.
