Why did Jesus die? What does he mean to say that 'he suffered for our sins'? ‘Consuming Passion’ will help both individuals and small groups understand and participate in the lively current debate about the meaning of the cross and the atonement. In a provocative series of reflections the contributors challenge the theology implicit in much evangelical and catholic teaching, and exemplified by Mel Gibson's film ‘The Passion of the Christ’. Contributors include Simon Barrow, Jonathan Bartley, Steve Chalk, Giles Fraser, Kathy Galloway, Stuart Murray, Ched Myers, Michael Northcott, Anne Richards, Kevin Scully, Vic Thiessen and J Denny Weaver.
