Although it is important to locate that discussion in the context of the range of New testament perspectives on the soteriological significance of the cross, it is also important that we recover the meaning of the cross as a metaphor for discipleship. In the end, the event of Jesus' death cannot be understood apart from the character of his life. This book will contribute to New Testament studies but also serve related discussions in theology and Christian formation.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Donald Senior</note> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ -- Crucifixion</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">232.963</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S477-D68</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781426759345</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13518/w.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13518/w.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071248.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
