In Cross-Shattered Christ, theologian Stanley Hauerwas offers a moving reflection on Jesus’ final words from the cross. This small and powerful volume is theologically poignant and steeped in humility. Hauerwas’ pithy discussion opens our ears to the language of Scripture and opens our hearts to a truer vision of God. Touching on, in original and surprising ways, subjects such as praying the Psalms and our need to be remembered by Jesus, Hauerwas emphasizes Christ’s humanity as well as the sheer “differentness” of God. Cross-Shattered Christ is ideal for personal devotion during Lent and throughout the year and offers a transformative reading of Jesus’ words that goes directly to the heart of the Gospel.
