Jesus and the Cross: Reflections of Christians from Islamic ContextsDavid Emmanuel Singh David Emmanuel Singh, 2008 - 225 pàgines The paper in this volume are organized in three parts: scriptural, contextual and theological. The central question being addressed is: how do Christians living in contexts, where Islam is a majority or minority religion, experience, express or think of the Cross? This is, therefore, an exercise in listening. As the contexts from where these engagements arise are varied, the papers in drawing scriptural, contextual and theological reflections offer a cross-section of Christian thinking about Jesus and the Cross. |
