Sacrifice and Redemption Durham Essays in Theology
Sykes, S. W.
Sacrifice and Redemption Durham Essays in Theology S. W. Sykes - UK Cambridge University Press 1991 - 339tr. Hardcover, Illustration 24 cm
These essays explore the role sacrificial metaphor has to play in theological interpretation of the death of Christ, and ask whether such a metaphor makes sense today. They make clear that the political and psychological connotations of sacrificial language have in modern times given rise to great unease, and examine, in particular, the Catholic tradition of the eucharistic sacrifice, a tradition that was vigorously challenged at the Reformation. Looking at the various controversies from a variety of perspectives, the contributions to the book have a pronounced ecumenical slant, and illuminate sacrifice at the major, formative moments in history, from Old Testament times to contemporary theology.
