Reconciliation and Transformation (eBook, ePUB)

Reconsidering Christian Theologies of the Cross
Übersetzer: Hagersten, Karen

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The need for reconciliation and the significance of renewal are fundamental aspects of a person's life, and they are also essential to Christian faith. In the Christian tradition in the West the concept of reconciliation has been extensively discussed, whereas the Eastern church has put more emphasis on deification (Greek: theosis), in this book called transformation. By combining these two concepts, this book seeks to bring together the Western and Eastern traditions of Christianity and thereby contribute to a deeper understanding of reconciliation and transformation. The book also addresses several issues that often surface in Jewish-Christian dialogue, such as the role that cross theologies have played in the anti-Jewish Christian discourse.
