Many books on the Christian doctrine of atonement have been
published in recent years. Some point out the difficulties of
traditional atonement theories; others attempt a revision of one of
the classical three types; others attempt to combine aspects of
these types.Jennings attempts something new: by approaching the
question of the meaning of the cross through close attention to the
biblical passages that serve as the basis of any reflection on the
cross of Jesus and an engagement with patristic as well as
contemporary discussion. The result is an alternative theology of
the cross that grounds the message concerning the cross in the
socio-political reality in which it was historically located and
points to the way in which this message bears upon contemporary
social and ecclesial reality.Jennings's truly fresh understanding
for Christians of the meaning of Jesus' death specifically grounds
the cross in the concrete political confrontation within which it
occurred, relates the message about the cross to the practice of
Jesus (thus keeping in relationship the gospels and the theology of
Paul), and shows how the cross bears on overcoming of human
division and sin, reconciliation to God, and new forms of social
reality in the community of the crucified.
