What are its radical claims? Which theologians stood within this subversive tradition? Is Karl Barth amongst them? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this volume New Zealand theologian Rosalene Bradbury throws light on these - surprisingly contentious - questions. She argues that tethered to the tradition that gave rise to it, the term theologia crucis references a theological system centred on notions of false and true glory, and an ancient conviction that from the cross of Jesus Christ came a revelatory and a saving Word. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe apostle Paul, Athanasius, a school of medieval mystics, and the reformer Martin Luther, are all shown to be significant classical representatives of these ideas. Bradbury then argues that seminal twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth exhibits many of the classical crucicentric system's defining characteristics, so that he himself might fairly be deemed a modern theologian of the cross. Until now Barth's pivotal role in this long, crucicentric tradition has been unsung; this book sheds important new light on his theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalene Bradbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0227680308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780227680308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Clarke Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Rosalene Bradbury","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48807780712703,"sku":"9780227680308","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-theology-rosalene-bradbury-9780227680308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
