Cross in Tensions. Philip Ruge-Jones

is not to say that I shall not use observations from each of these models as I pursue my own interpretation. Having revealed something of these diverse contributions, I am confident that the reader will be able to see the places where each has influenced my thought as well as the ways that I have broken company with them. We turn now to the task of mapping the context in which Luther lived and worked in order to understand how Luther’s theology of the cross functioned therein.
