Description
Let go of the cross and embrace a deeper faith.
In
The Cross and Its Meaninglessness, author Timothy John Tracy has taken
thousands of years of Christian religious doctrine surrounding the
crucifixion and turned it on its head. In a unique, eloquent “prayer,”
Tracy questions the accepted meaning of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and
dares to suggest that the traditional idea of God’s sacrifice of his
only son is mistaken.
Open your heart and listen to his plea; it may inspire a faith deeper than you’ve known.
Advance Praise
"There could scarcely be a more provocative theological text than Tim Tracy's powerful meditation on the cross; it is a provocation inspired by the conviction that the true gospel is a proclamation of a love that transcends and annuls all violence--both our own and that which we often blasphemously ascribe to God. Many Christians, however, hold to teaching that affirm not only Christ's perfect obedience to the Father 'unto death,' but his legal murder as well. Thus, the crucifixion (so to speak) depicts the Father as party to a cruel transaction whose fundamental logic is violence, and the Son as the innocent victim required by an obscene order of divine justice. Tracy's treatment of these matters is a bracing corrective."
