Jesus, the Crucified People
by C. S. Song
On This Page
Description
A deeply moving and challenging book, Jesus, the Crucified Peoplebreaks a theological stranglehold on the figure of Jesus and glimpses in a new, non-Western way both Jesus and Christianity. Against the rich cultural background of Asia, Song's volume explores the mystery of the Word that from the beginning of time now comes poignantly to us in the stories and testimonies of women, men, and children. Song eloquently fashions a "people hermeneutic" to sketch an account of Jesus' life, ministry, show more death, and resurrection for our world today. This much-hailed volume anchors Song's monumental trilogy, the Cross in the Lotus World, which also includes Jesus and the Reign of God(1993), and Jesus in the Power of the Spirit(1994), also published by Fortress Press. show lessTags
