In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" With compelling honesty John Stott confronts this generation with the centrality of the cross in God's redemption of the world -- a world now haunted by the memories of Auschwitz, the pain of oppression and the specter of nuclear war.</p> <p>Can we see triumph in tragedy, victory in shame? Why should an object of Roman distaste and Jewish disgust be the emblem of our worship and the axiom of our faith? And what does it mean for us today?</p> Crucifixion Ethics Harvest Top 101: All Harvest Top 101: Year 5 History Redemption Theology Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:26:14 -0600
