Book Description
Josiah was sleeping soundly. Suddenly the pounding on his door would start. The Roman soldiers stormed into his house shouting for him to get up. The officer screamed, "Do you have a cross ready? We have orders to prepare an extra crucifixion for the morning."Josiah, still in a fog from being in a deep sleep, stumbled through the house to deal with the unruly solider. "Who is the criminal tonight?" he asked.The centurion looked at him and simply said, "Jesus of Nazareth."Josiah's head snapped around involuntarily. "Who?""Jesus of Nazareth," the officer answered in an offhanded manner. Then another gruff command came his way. "Are you going to get us that cross, or are we going to mail you to one?"Josiah's mind was racing. He had been on of the people who had listened to some of his teachings and just thought, This teaching is so new. Love your neighbor as yourself? Give and it shall be given to me? The only thing I have ever done is keep on taking. I have made a lot of money building those death trees, I haven't wanted to see someone die on one of these, but for whatever reason, I have to see this.In today's world, we see people who won't forgive each other or, for that matter, won't forgive themselves. Josiah is a man who is about to learn that. Join the adventure and see just exactly how God the Father can touch a man who does the unforgivable.

The Seven Sayings of Jesus on the Cross
Author: Murray J. Harris
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498237541
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Who of us can possibly imagine the excruciating pain of being crucified? But further, who would imagine that in the midst of this ghastly punishment that brings on unrelenting headaches and mental disorientation, a crucified man would actually give thought to the needs of others? This book explores in detail the nature of crucifixion and then invites the reader to listen in stunned silence to the amazing seven sayings of Jesus of Nazareth while hanging on the cross, as he focuses his attention on others in the first three sayings, and only then on his own distressing situation. His last four sayings give expression to his utter spiritual and physical anguish and conclude with a cry of victory and then a cry in which he commits himself to God.

The Cross and the Lynching Tree
Author: James H. Cone
Publisher: Orbis Books
ISBN: 160833001X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39 The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.
