The Wood Between the Worlds

A Poetic Theology of the Cross

De: Brian Zahnd

Narrado por: Brian Zahnd

The cross is the heart of Scripture

Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude—that there is always something more to be said.

Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.

Beautiful!

Challenging and comforting. Every Christian should listen and rethink how they view the cross. I plan to listen again.

Challenging!

Besides clearly, describing with scriptural support the never ending love of God for all people through Jesus Christ and the ultimate reconciliation to God and to each other all people, The Wood Between The Worlds is A call to people who say they are Christians to become true Christ followers in the example that Jesus set for us to pick up our Cross and follow Him

Just beautifully executed

The theopoetic direction and view of this book is beautiful. Well the appreciation for Orthodox and Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions on certain aspects was done with great respect and a aim for truth

Beautifully written! Yummy! Solid! Run to read this!!

Like an amazingly delicious meal with favorite friends and family, this book is a wonderful treat! Already have recommended it to many. A must read!!

Inspiring

I love to read books by Brad Zahnd. His writing is inspired. I will read this book over many times.

Compelling

Powerful, challenging, honest, compelling. This book takes a careful and through look at the character and ministry of Jesus Christ, and applies it to our understanding of the gospel and our relationship to God, exposing the distortions in our understanding that have risen over time, and outlining the implications for our behavior and values. Get this book.

Powerful and deep

Deep dive into the cross, and what it means for us as believers. Excellent work!

A Beautiful and necessary corrective

Brian has written a solid work of pastoral, Christian theology. This book will restore the faith of some and challenge the assumptions of others. Read it or listen as Brian reads it for you.
