Publisher's Synopsis
Luthers theology of the cross has impacted major theologians and centuries of theology including the present, and yet it is weakened by its reactionary theological determinism reductionism and understandable failure to properly integrate fluid melioristic, and procreation kingdom eschatology. N. T. Wrights revolutionary cross, articulated in The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesuss Crucifixion, is a brilliant and clarion new creation eschatological call to action that suffers from a somewhat cryptic imprecise and unrefined eschatology. Heino O. Kadai has presented an authoritative and concise rendering of Luthers key insights. Rustin Brian has carefully assessed whether Luthers theology of the cross deserves blame for the Deus absconditus of modernity in his Barthian influenced Covering Up Luther. Robert Cady Saler has masterfully articulated a relevant and pastoral Theologia Crucis framed by Moltmanns Theology
