Opis

What does the cross, both as a historical event and a symbol of religious discourse, tell us about human beings? In this provocative book, Brian Gregor draws together a hermeneutics of the self--through Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Taylor--and a theology of the cross--through Luther, Kierkegaard, Bonhoeffer, and Jungel--to envision a phenomenology of the cruciform self. The result is a bold and original view of what philosophical anthropology could look like if it took the scandal of the cross seriously instead of reducing it into general philosophical concepts.
