The Suffering and Victorious Christ: Toward a More Compassionate Christology de Richard J. Mouw

The Suffering and Victorious Christ: Toward a More Compassionate Christology

Autor Richard J. Mouw, Douglas A. Sweeney Willie Jennings
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2013
American theologians tend to focus on the great hope Christians have through Christ's resurrection, emphasizing Christ's victory while minimizing or ignoring his suffering. Through their engagements with Japanese Christians and African American Christians on the topic of Christology, Richard Mouw and Douglas Sweeney have come to recognize and underscore that Christ offers hope not only through his resurrection but also through his incarnation. The authors articulate a more compassionate and orthodox Christology that answers the experience of the global church, offering a corrective to what passes for American Christology today. The book includes an afterword by Willie James Jennings of Duke Divinity School.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Richard Mouw and Douglas Sweeney address the 'divine empathy' of the incarnate Christ who, in the mysteries of the Trinity, not only created his fellow humans but also suffers with them. The authors' exploration of neglected themes from Lutheran and Calvinist theologians will satisfy the historically minded, and their engagement with non-European and African American believers will illuminate the universal character of the gospel. Their depiction of Christ's suffering as both absolutely unique to himself and necessary to join him completely to suffering humanity will challenge, humble, and inspire all who stop to consider the 'wond'rous cross on which the Prince of Glory died.'"
--Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame; coauthor of "Clouds of Witnesses: Christian Voices from Africa and Asia

"Decades ago, black liberation theologian James Cone invited white theologians to listen closely to the spiritual insights of people of color. "The Suffering and Victorious Christ" does just that. With sensitivity and skill, Mouw and Sweeney show how much white American Christologies can benefit from Asian and African American histories and theological reflections."
--Edward J. Blum, coauthor of "The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America
"
"Following Barth and listening to African American and Japanese voices, Mouw and Sweeney help us see that the incarnation and sufferings of Christ, properly understood, are not a forfeiting of God's glory but an expression of it. Mouw and Sweeney have helped deepen our christological moorings with a Christology that reflects in deeper ways God's redemptive work in the global church throughout space and time."
--Timothy C. Tennent, Asbury Theological Seminary
"This is a remarkable testimony of a theological journey in search of resources for a compassionate Christology through American Christianity. The authors point to the danger of over-contextualization and exploitation, both by the privileged and by the oppressed. Readers will have a solid grasp of what it means to be faithful to the core of our common Christian tradition today while at the same time staying attentive to the voices of contemporary critiques. This book is for all students and professionals who take the challenge of such a theological inquiry seriously."
--Anri Morimoto, International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan
