The Crux of Theology: Luther’s Teachings and Our Work for Freedom, Justice, and Peace

The Crux of Theology puts Luther’s teachings concerning the cross in dialogue with the preamble of the United Declaration’s Declaration of Human Rights, which advances a vision of the common good wherein freedom, justice and peace are enjoyed by all. Using diverse voices, it re-frames theological loci and raises critical contextual questions.
