God as Sacrificial Love

In dialogue with a range of post-enlightenment critiques of Christian theologies regarding sacrificial love Asle Eikrem presents an unconventional systematic approach to this multi-layered and complex theological topic. From Hegel to prominent 20th century theologians from feminist theologies to postmodern philosophers this volume engages in a critical conversation with a host of different voices on all the classical topics in theology (creation trinity incarnation atonement sin faith sacraments and eschatology) also providing a moral and socio-historical vision for Christian living. The result is a unique appraisal of the significance that the life and death of Jesus holds for the world today.
