Table of Contents
Google Preview: A deeply moving and challenging book, Jesus, the Crucified People breaks 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, 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.; C. S. Song is an internationally influential voice in Christian theology and a pioneer of Asian Christian theology and story theology. He is Professor of Theology at the Pacific School of Religion and immediate past President of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.; Preface Prologue: Oh, Jesus, Here With Us!
