The Executed God

"In The Executed God, theologian Mark Taylor dares to address the meaning of Jesus' execution for an American culture that now maintains more than 3,600 U.S. residents on the death rows of its burgeoning prisons.". "Taylor shows that the death penalty is only one aspect of "lockdown America," and The Executed God suggests how Christians can resist and transform this whole system, which incarcerates two million people (70 percent of them people of color) and commits frequent violations of fairness in process and results.". "In creative and fresh ways, Taylor mines Christian traditions for a new understanding of "the way of the cross" today. His work fosters compassionate and effective Christian action and convincingly relates the life-engendering power of God - demonstrated in Jesus' cross and resurrection - to the potential transformation of systems of imprisonment and death."--BOOK JACKET.
