This may receive a much higher rating after a future reading when I'm on a different part of my spiritual journey. ( ) Detailed, rational analysis of Christ's death on the cross and what it means to mankind. All analyses are based on Biblical texts. I feel it is a very thorough analysis on what the Bible says about the issue. I cannot think of relevant texts that he left unquoted =) He seems to write the book while mindful of Christians who do not accept the doctrine of the cross (namely Christ dying for the sin of mankind, in our place.) So he would delineate views that don't see the cross this way, and argue against these views based on Biblical texts. I find it somewhat interesting because I had not been aware that there are Christians who hold these alternative views. My favorite chapter is the one in which he laid out four different "imagery" of substitution -- propitiation, redemption, justification, and reconciliation. He explained how the imagery are different from each other, drawing from metaphors of altar sacrifice, market, court, and family. And just....went to town with his analysis. I loved it. He doesn't reference the Holy Spirit too much though, which makes it difficult for me to understand the later sections on "crucifying oneself", which I think he takes to mean sanctification. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The universal symbol of the Christian faith is neither a crib nor a manger, but a gruesome cross. Yet many people are unclear about its meaning, and cannot understand why Christ had to die. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
