Way of the Cross--Way of Justice

Theology has two eyes. One looks back toward the past where salvation broke in; the other looks toward the present where salvation becomes reality here and now.This Way of the Cross seeks to use both eyes of theology. It is a Way of the Cross with one eye focusing on the historical Jesus: his life condemnation death and resurrection. It is also a Way of Justice its other eye focusing on the Christ of faith who continues his passion today in his brothers and sisters who are being condemned tortured and killed for the cause of justice.In the light of the perspectives and convictions acquired over the course of seven years of christological studies I now present this Way of the Cross which is meant to be a prayerful theology or a theological prayer.Leonardo Boff from the Introduction
