Cross Vision: How the Crucifixion of Jesus Makes Sense of Old

Cross Vision: How the Crucifixion of Jesus Makes Sense of Old Testament Violence

Renowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd tackles the Bibleâ€™s biggest dilemma.

The Old Testament God of wrath and violence versus the New Testament God of love and peaceâ€”itâ€™s a difference that has troubled Christians since the first century. Now, with the sensitivity of a pastor and the intellect of a theologian, Gregory A. Boyd proposes the â€œcruciform hermeneutic,â€ a way to read the Old Testament portraits of God through the lens of Jesusâ€™ crucifixion.

In Cross Vision, Boyd follows up on his epic and groundbreaking study, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus reframes the troubling violence of the Old Testament, how all of Scripture reveals Godâ€™s self-sacrificial love, and, most importantly, how we can follow Jesusâ€™ example of peace.
