Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Emphatic in her assertion that Christ's crucifixion cannot be interpreted in isolation from his resurrection, Morna Hooker gives a comprehensive and inspiring survey of New Testament teaching about the death of Christ.
She argues that the concept of substitutionary atonement does not take us far enough in understanding the profound truth, taught especially by Paul, that Christ became what we are in order that we might become what he is. He took his place as one of us and died our death in order that we might be identified with him both in his death and in his resurrection.
At times controversial, this volume will be highly stimulating to readers who are prepared to take a fresh look at the New Testament evidence.
