Christ Crucified in a Suffering World

<p>What is the connection between Christian doctrine and concrete social action? This question marks the often unarticulated divide between systematic theology and liberation theology each often emphasizing one primarily or formally over the other. Examining the work of Karl Barth T. F. Torrance and Jon Sobrino here Nathan Hieb contests this bifurcation specifically around the nodal points of the crucifixion or the doctrine of atonement and the context of suffering. This book is an innovative study that bridges the boundaries of method doctrine and praxis creating a strong theological and action-oriented relationship between systematic and liberation theology.</p>
