In this book, Ligita Ryliskyte addresses what is arguably the most
important and profound question in systematic theology: What does
it mean for humankind to be saved by the cross? Offering a
constructive account of the atonement that avoids pitting God's
saving love against divine justice, she provides a
biblically-grounded and philosophically disciplined theology of the
cross that responds to the exigencies of postmodern secular
culture. Ryliskyte draws on Bernard J. F. Lonergan's development of
the Augustinian-Thomist tradition to argue that the justice of the
cross concerns the orderly communication and diffusion of divine
friendship. It becomes efficacious in the dynamic order of the
emergent universe through the transformation of evil into good out
of love. Showing how inherited theological traditions can be
transposed in new contexts, Ryliskyte's book reveals a Christology
of fundamental significance for contemporary systematic theology,
as well as the fields of theological ethics and Christian
spirituality.
