But if Paul were alive today, he would find it inexplicable that we modern believers are not scandalized by the cross.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProclaiming the Scandal of the Cross \u003c\/i\u003eintroduces pastors, church leaders, students, and lay readers to the need for contextualized atonement theology, offering creative examples of how the cross can be proclaimed today in culturally relevant and transformative ways. It makes helpful suggestions on how this vision for a culturally relevant message might be developed. The impressive list of contributors includes writings from C. S. Lewis, Rowan Williams, Frederica Mathewes-Green, Brian McLaren, and many more who are actively working out just how to make this life-transforming proclamation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark D.
