Tony Jones, popular progressive Christian blogger, author, and scholar, argues that this understanding is actually a medieval invention and not what the Bible really teaches. He looks beyond medieval convictions and liberates how we see Jesus's death on the cross from this restrictive paradigm. Christians today must transcend the shame and guilt that have shaped conceptions of the human soul and made us fearful of God, and replace them with love, grace, and joyfulness, which better expresses what the cross is really about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow we understand the cross reflects directly what kind of God we worship. By letting go of the wrathful God who cannot stand to be in our presence unless he pretends to see Jesus in our place, we discover the biblical God who reaches out to love and embrace us while \"we were yet sinners.\" Jones offers a positive, loving, inclusive interpretation of the faith that is both challenging and inspiring. \u003cem\u003eDid God Kill Jesus?\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for modern Christians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Did We Go from \"God Is Love\" to Being \"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God\"?\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003cb\u003eNadia Bolz-Weber\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003ePastrix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Did We Go from \"God Is Love\" to Being \"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 26, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52757829779763,"sku":"9780062297976","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/gFLZuWM0Bv9780062297976.webp?v=1764417490","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/did-god-kill-jesus-searching-for-love-in-historys-most-famous-execution-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
