About This hardback

Father forgive them; for they don't know what they are doing. Christ's final words from the cross--the seven sayings from the Gospels long pondered by Christians--are both familiar and strange. They are difficult words. As prominent theologian Stanley Hauerwas eloquently says, "We are at once drawn to these words, yet we fear taking them in our hands."

In Cross-Shattered Christ, Hauerwas offers a close and moving reading of each of Christ's last sayings. This small, powerful volume is theologically rich, yet full of humility-meditative, but never "preachy." In true Hauerwasian fashion, the pithy discussion opens our ears to the language of scripture while opening our hearts to a clearer vision of God. Resisting the temptation to "psychologize" or read Christ's words solely through the lens of our own need, Hauerwas avoids taming "the wildness of the God we worship." Touching in original and surprising ways on subjects such as Mary, the incarnation, and our need to be remembered by Jesus, Hauerwas uncovers what he calls the sheer "differentness" of God.

Ideal for Lent meditation and devotion, Cross-Shattered Christ offers a transformative reading of Christ's words, a reading that goes directly to the heart of the gospel. It bids us "come, draw near, fear not, and behold the mystery and the wonder of Jesus's cross."
