This exciting volume gathers theologiansand historians who have thought through these criticaland constructive issues: Do traditional understandingsof the cross valorize suffering or violence? Are the oldersoteriological models, which see redemption as a kind ofransom or debt satisfaction, fitting for the contemporaryworldview? Do they produce a piety that acquiesces inneedless suffering, or does the cross precisely meet themassive suffering and injustice of today's world?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing an expert introduction to the issues and optionsby editor Marit Trelstad, each author addresses theChristian symbol of the cross in the context of currenttheological, sociological, political, or environmental issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marit A.
