Insights While Suffering ─ With a View to the Cross and Resurrection

Slatter presents students, academics, and researchers with an examination of the relationship between Christian suffering and Christ’s passion. The author has organized the eight chapters that make up the main body of his text in two parts devoted to theologians of the cross and evil, suffering, and god. Individual chapters are focused on the phenomenology of Dorothee Soelle’s Suffering, what is meant by suffering, and a wide variety of other related subjects.
