The Cross and Human Transformation: Pauls Apocalyptic Word in I Corinthians magasin

In our time the cross is often more a source of controversy than a sign of peace. While aware of differing points of view, Alexandra Brown shows that Pauls proclamation of the cross was an inclusive and empowering word of liberation, peace, and reconciliation.

In 1 Corinthians Paul strikes at the heart of schism in the church. Against the barriers of ego and ideology that divided believers in Corinth, he proclaims a liberating message. This book explores the way the word of the cross in 1 Corinthians invades the perception of its hearers, liberating them from the old world with its enslaving system of convictions and ushering them into the new creation revealed by the cross.
