Paper Back. Condition: New. St. Paul speaks of the rulers of this age who ''crucified the Lord of Glory'' (1 Cor. 2:8). St. Gregory Nazianzen proclaimed boldly, ''We need a God made flesh and put to death.'' But how seriously has the Church taken the identification of God with One who was not only dead, but also ''buried,'' as the Creed confesses? Similar to a chapter in von Balthasar's Mysterium Paschale, Alan Lewis contends that the implications of this lack have been profound, beginning with our avoidance of the very identification of God with the Crucified and Buried One. In dialogue with both classical and modern theologians, Lewis argues that our doctrine of God suffers when he is not the God who is ''the servant Lord, the guilty judge, the wounded healer.'' For it is in the depth of Holy Saturday that God identifies with the aloneness, darkness, and burials in our own lives. The power of the book is made more poignant when one discovers that the author experienced his own Holy Saturday, dying of cancer at the age of fifty, shortly after finishing this book.
