Reviews

""In this incisive and creative study, Anthony explores Luther's, Hall's, and Lewis's theologies of the cross and argues convincingly that Luther's incarnational focus and affirmation of the 'third mode' enable contemporary theologians of the cross to offer the world a powerful theology of hope that both takes seriously the totality and particularity of human experience and celebrates the ongoing nature of God's 'within redemption.'"" --Kurt K. Hendel Bernard, Fischer, Westberg Distinguished Ministry Professor of Reformation History Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago ""Any theologian who is willing to pay attention to Martin Luther on Christ's Presence is by necessity exciting. Especially when that theologian takes seriously the ubiquitous presence of the crucified Christ to his sinners that concerns not Christ's presence to us, but ours to Him. Neal Anthony's theological exploration is indeed exciting. Read freely."" --Steven D. Paulson Professor of Systematic Theology Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota ""Knowledgeable when it comes to Luther, Barth, and other significant theologians; creative when it comes to traditional topics of Christian doctrine; faithful when it comes to the relevance of research and teaching for ministry; challenging when it comes to the reader's own reflection."" --Antje Jackelén Bishop of Lund Church of Sweden
