frederick buechner publisher brewster massachusetts paraclete press 97 pages introduction isbn 1 55725 455 9 hardcover reviewed by rev garth wehrfritz hanson frederick buechner is an ordained presbyterian minister and over the years has become somewhat of a popular and prolific author of both fiction and non fiction works this little volume is divided into six chapters in addition to the introduction 1 annunciation 2 nativity 3 ministry 4 last supper 5 crucifixion and 6 resurrection buechner in this reviewer s humble opinion has the gift of attention grabbing turns of phrase that surprise and inspire the reader sometimes these turns of phrase have the capacity to confront readers with the foreboding judgment of god and the all encompassing grace of god that are able to make readers laugh and cry perhaps at the same time such is the brilliance of buechner here are a few examples when you think the world is on fire you don t take time out to do a thumbnail sketch nobody tells us what he looked like yet of course the new testament itself is what he looked like p ix if he jesus is the savior of the world as his followers believe there never has been nor ever will be a world without salvation p 4 it is no wonder that from the very start of his ministry the forces of jewish morality and of roman law were both out to get him because to him the only morality that mattered was the one that sprang from the forgiven heart like fruit from the well watered tree and the only law he acknowledged as ultimate was the law of love p 42 god makes his saints out of fools and sinners because there is nothing much else to make them out of god makes his messiah out of a fierce and fiercely gentle man who spills himself out his very flesh and blood as though it is only a loaf of bread and a cup of sweet red wine that he is spilling p 59 if the world is sane then jesus is mad as a hatter and the last supper is the mad tea party p 61 he could be dostoevsky s father zossima who said fathers and teachers i ponder what is hell i maintain that hell is the suffering of being unable to love p 65 if ever there should turn out unbelievably to be a god of love willing to search for men and women even in the depths of evil and pain the face of jesus is the face we would know him by p 79 thus for jesus the only distinction among people that ultimately matters seems to be not whether they are churchgoers or non churchgoers catholics or protestants muslims or jews but do they or do they not love love not in the sense of an emotion so much as in the sense of an act of the will the loving act of willing another s good even if need arise at the expense of their own p 91 this is a powerful little volume and i hope it will be regarded as a spiritual classic for many years to come highly recommended filed under church universal reviews tagged with book review books christianity faith frederick buechner jesus spirituality the faces of jesus brief book review making sense of the cross september 11 2017 leave a comment making sense of the cross author david j lose publisher minneapolis mn augsburg fortress 187 pages isbn 978 0 8066 9851 9 paperback reviewed by rev garth wehrfritz hanson at the time of writing the rev dr david j lose held the marbury e anderson chair in biblical preaching at luther seminary in st paul minnesota he is now the president of lutheran theological seminary at philadelphia making sense of the cross is written in very accessible prose actually it is a conversation between an imaginary professor and student in lutheran pedagogical style it takes the catechetical method of questions and answers the contents of the work are as follows acknowledgments introduction chapter 1 a man hanging on a tree chapter 2 portraits and perspectives chapter 3 ransom and victory chapter 4 substitution satisfaction and sacrifice chapter 5 example and encouragement chapter 6 event and experience for further reading after focusing on the different and unique material of each gospel especially their passion narratives professor lose reviews the three theories of atonement the theories are the classic theory also called the ransom theory and the christus victor or victorious christ theory made popular by swedish theologian gustaf aulén the substitution or satisfaction or sacrifice theory by anselm in the eleventh century who later became the archbishop of canterbury and then revised by thomas aquinas in the thirteenth century and tweaked further by john calvin in the sixteenth century and the christ as moral example or christ the exemplar or the divine example theory by peter abelard who was born some fifty years after anselm dr lose examines each theory and highlights their strengths and weaknesses he employs four questions to analyze each theory i what is god like ii what s broken about the relationship between god and humanity iii how does jesus cross repair what s broken iv what picture of the christian life is given p 84 after finding each theory wanting since they are merely theories professor lose turns to event and experience in his final chapter herein he draws a lot on pauline theology emphasizing the scandal of the cross as well as the all encompassing love of god in christ on the cross the motifs of dying and rising for christian daily living in relationship with jesus is what sets us free to love serve and forgive one another hence carrying out the ministry of reconciliation in response to jesus reconciling work on the cross students laity and adherents of non christian faiths who are not familiar with the theories of atonement will benefit from this volume it shall also serve as a helpful review for more seasoned pastors and scholars and inspire further conversation and study to compliment this work one can order from augsburg fortress a leader guide and dvd filed under church universal wonderings tagged with book review books christianity faith jesus the cross theology
