Publisher's Summary
In this fresh creative approach to theology, Elizabeth Johnson asks how we can understand cosmic redemption in a time of advancing ecological devastation. In effect, how can we extend the core Christian belief in salvation to include all created beings? Immediately this question runs into a formidable obstacle: the idea that Jesus's death on the cross was required as atonement for human sin-a theology laid out by the 11th-century theologian St. Anselm.
Constructing her argument (like Anselm) in the form of a dialogue, Johnson lays out the foundations in scripture, the teachings of Jesus, and the early Church for an understanding that emphasizes the love and mercy of God, showing how this approach can help us respond to a planet in peril.

Excellent Examination of the Meaning of the Cross
This is an excellent study of the Cross of Christ, questioning its purpose simply as atonement for all humanity's sins. The necessity of the crucifixion is given a fresh, understandable and convincing approach outside of a theology of atonement in the context of the theology of God's Love. Although the reading is a bit soft (i.e. non-emphatic, understated), the content is outstanding.
