Since the advent of formal biblical criticism, many have come to
see the crucifixion as merely one event in the process of religious
development. Yet for the New Testament writers it was so much more,
representing a radical break that forever affected their perception
of God and the world.
In this book Roy Harrisville examines the thought worlds of the
New Testament writers, showing how the cross fractured their
previously held ideas, causing a profound reorientation centered on
the story of the cross. Focusing chronologically on Paul, the
Synoptic writers, John, and the authors of Hebrews and 1 Peter,
Harrisville demonstrates changes in the writers' understanding of
sacrifice, law, Hellenism, apocalyptic, and other areas -- changes
that created the new values of the radically different Christian
community.
An insightful work of careful critical scholarship,
Harrisville's "Fracture" will appeal to anyone interested in
reviewing the New Testament's witness to that which lies at the
heart of earliest Christian confession and which has provoked such
bitter conflict in history.
