N. T. Wright's revolutionary cross, articulated in \u003cem\u003eThe Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion\u003c\/em\u003e, is a brilliant and clarion new creation eschatological call to action that suffers from a somewhat cryptic, imprecise, and unrefined eschatology. Heino O. Kadai has presented an authoritative and concise rendering of Luther's key insights. Rustin Brian has carefully assessed whether Luther's theology of the cross deserves blame for the \u003cem\u003eDeus absconditus\u003c\/em\u003e of modernity in his Barthian influenced \u003cem\u003eCovering Up Luther\u003c\/em\u003e. Robert Cady Saler has masterfully articulated a relevant and pastoral \u003cem\u003eTheologia Crucis\u003c\/em\u003e framed by Moltmann's \u003cem\u003eTheology of Hope\u003c\/em\u003e that is most applicable to the contemporary church and sociopolitical engagement. \u003cem\u003eA Theology of Cross and Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e sympathetically and creatively critiques and synthesizes dominant themes in such classical and contemporary theologies of the cross within a unified cross and kingdom eschatology. Matthews deftly overcomes many of the less than helpful disjunctive approaches to the theology of the cross while proffering a way forward for this most influential and core theological treasure of the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eD.
