Exploring the theology of the cross as a way of life from an Indian perspective begins with particular struggles and insights. From there, the author takes us to the broader theological implications-the development of “reconciliative solidarity” being one-and aptly demonstrates the relevance of his reflections to Christianity as a whole.

The term “theology of the cross” (theologia crucis) carries with it a great deal of negative baggage. Some people associate it with a glorification of suffering, while for others it conjures up images of heavy-handed evangelical proselytizing. In this superb new book, Amritraj Joshua Paul cuts through these misunderstandings to uncover the real theologia crucis: the gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and risen, breathing new life and possibility into a world marked by death. Paul's reimagining of reconciliation in an Indian context will speak to readers across a wide range of churches and theological opinions. I recommend it highly.
