Stricken by God?: Nonviolent Identification and the Victory of Christ

Description

Foreword by Willard Swartley

-We considered him stricken by God, but . . .-

Did God really pour out his wrath against sin on his Son to satisfy his own need for justice? Or did God-in-Christ forgive the world even as it unleashed its wrath against him? Was Christ's sacrifice the ultimate fulfillment of God's demand for redemptive bloodshed? Or was the cross God's great -No- to that whole system? This distinctively panoramic volume offers fresh perspectives on these and other difficult questions reemerging throughout the church today.

  從啟示錄看顛覆現實的基督信仰

  By 鮑維均

  顛覆現實的基督論

  By 鮑維均

  「你們說我是誰?」（太16:15）自第一世紀耶穌發問至今，這問題一直迴盪於歷史長廊。歷代以來提出了不少見解，但今天的信徒仍要親自回答這問題，更要按照聖經的真理來回答。聖經的中心是耶穌基督，從舊約到新約都如是。雖然耶穌基督是獨一的，但聖經作者沒有用創新的稱號來介紹祂的身份和工作，反而沿用當時文化已有的職分和觀念（祭司、先知、君王，救主、道、主宰），再在其中注入信仰意涵，挑戰人的企圖和權勢，及對現實的詮釋，甚至挑戰信徒的生命。教會承接了耶穌基督在地上的使命（約20:21），因此祂的身份和工作，與我們信徒息息相關，從中可以看到我們的困局、尊嚴和定位。
