But early Christians, who had seen their world upended by the atoning power of the cross of Christ, came to view it in an entirely different light. Deeply scandalous, it was paradoxically glorious. For the cross of Christ marked the epochal saving event in God's dealings with Israel and the world. And its meaning could not be fathomed or encircled by a single image or formulation. Since its publication in 2000, Recovering the Scandal of the Cross has initiated among evangelicals a new conversation about the nature of the atonement and how it should be expressed in the varied and global contexts of today.  aReligion -- Christian Theology -- Christology  aAtonement  aJesus Christ -- Crucifixion4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15091/083081571601-sx360-sclzzzzzzz.jpgyCover Image
