Jennifer C J Radtke reviewed Cross in the Heart of God by Samuel Wells
Challenging and illuminating perspectives on the cross
5 stars
Samuel Wells draws together a number of different perspectives on the cross from all parts of Scripture - putting together a patchwork of ideas that reject simple answers and uses real human stories to help us appreciate the humanity and divinity of Christ on the cross. The image of Jesus weaving the cross and all of humanity into God's heart will stay with me, as will the idea that Jesus' body on the cross makes real the struggle of God's commitment to a humanity that rejects God. All is drawn together with the idea that this is the love of God that will never, ever let us go.
