Labor of God: The Agony of the Cross As the Birth of the Church
Thomas Andrew Bennett
Explores the church's speech about the cross. Tom Bennett recovers a shocking, but often overlooked, metaphor from Scripture and tradition: the cross as an act of divine labour, the travail through which God gives birth to the church. This ancient understanding of the cross enables a fresh theology of Christian atonement.
