Heim, S. Mark

Saved From Sacrifice A Theology of the Cross S. Mark Heim - U.S.A. W.B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., 2006 - 346tr. paperback, illustration 24 cm

The cross has long been not only a scandal but also a profound paradox: filled with saving significance and power, it is at the same time a sobering tragedy. ""Saved From Sacrifice"" will surely prove to be one of the most important of recent analyses of atonement and violence as well as the most thorough from a Girardian perspective. Its restatement of an atonement motif holds out the promise of productive conversation with other strands of theology.
