| Summary: | Theologies of sacrifice - a historical overview --Modern critiques, recent developments and prevailing challenges --Sacrificial love and the problem of sacred violence --God and sacred bloodshed --God, death and the trinitarian logic of self-giving --God and sacred exclusion/inclusion --Theodicy - the radical nature of the problem of violence --The love through which God truly loves humanity : a preliminary summary --The love through which humanity truly loves God --Self-sacrificial love as the love through which we sometimes truly love one another --The monotony of sacrifice - no end in view? In dialogue with a range of post-enlightenment critiques of Christian theologies regarding sacrificial love, Asle Eikrem presents an unconventional systematic approach to this multi-layered and complex theological topic. From Hegel to prominent 20th century theologians, from feminist theologies to postmodern philosophers, this volume engages in a critical conversation with a host of different voices on all the classical topics in theology (creation, trinity, incarnation, atonement, sin, faith, sacraments, and eschatology), also providing a moral and socio-historical vision for Christian living. The result is a unique appraisal of the significance that the life and death of Jesus holds for the world today |
