Tired of it being used to excuse or promote a violent and\/or masochistic understanding of the faith, many advocate avoiding the cross altogether, and emptying it of its redemptive significance. But what if the cross can be reclaimed in ways that speak an empowering and liberating word to those experiencing trauma and suffering and those seeking to embody a Christian peace ethic?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing a Mennonite-feminist perspective which holds together historic peace church emphases on peace, nonviolence, and empowering discipleship, this book explores each stage of the narrative of Jesus. What emerges from this unique conversation is a peaceable reclaiming of the cross as a moment of Divine embrace and presence, reflected all the way from Jesus' compassionate ministry of peace to his cross as a symbol of all of the ways people are crucified today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSusanne Guenther Loewen\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Peace Studies at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT\u0026amp;T Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780567724571\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51197289332876,"sku":"9780567724571","price":23.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780567724571","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
