[The Theology of the Cross. History and Meaning of a Concept in Protestant Theology.]Published in German. "The theology of the cross" is a term which is used often in Protestant theology. It represents the aim of concentrating the theology of the Reformation, which results from the New Testament, on the essence of the Christian faith, the crucifixion of Christ. Michael Korthaus shows that the current importance of the theology of the cross is a modern phenomenon which has its roots mainly in early 20th century Luther research and which ultimately branches out into a large number of surprisingly different ways of thinking and conceptions in regard to the theology of the cross. In the first part of the book, the author describes various theologies of the cross, all of which differ to a large extent, such as those of Kähler, Iwand, Barth, Ebeling, Moltmann and Jüngel, from the perspective of the history of theology. The second part provides a contribution to a current theology of the cross from the perspective of systematic theology.eBook
