Church Conflicts: The Cross, Apocalyptic, and Political Resistance

by Ernst Käsemann, Roy Harrisville (Translator), Ry Siggelkow (Editor), James Cone (Foreword by)

Overview

This important work by one of the most significant New Testament scholars of the modern period, now available in English for the first time, explores the significance of Christian apocalyptic for the church in times of conflict and crisis. Engaging with global social and political realities that are still very much with us, Ernst Käsemann offers a theological indictment of global white supremacy, capitalism, and militarism and passionately articulates an apocalyptic theology of liberation. The book includes a foreword by James H. Cone and an introduction by Ry O. Siggelkow.
