Our postmodern society is so focused on the valorization of the individual that the meaning of a distant act in time like the cross of Jesus Christ has become difficult to understand. Traditional ways of approaching the question no longer seem credible and new approaches are proposed, even within evangelical circles.
Jesus is much more than an example of love or a victim of violence. When God receives and approves the work of the cross, the result is a humanity capable of new relationships, forgiveness, and renewal in every way.
This reconciliation evokes the end of all opposition, alienation and death. From now on, between God and human beings as between humans, a life of restoration, healing, recognition and joy is possible.
The cross is a place where relationships of reconciliation and friendship are formed - something that our contemporaries, affected by an existential weariness in the face of the contrasting realities of everyday life and suffering from the absence of a home in the deep and rich sense of the term, are seeking in all sorts of directions.
The project of Paul Wells, professor of systematic theology at the Free Faculty of Reformed Theology of Aix-en-Provence and editor of the Reformed Review, invites us to restore all its brilliance to the doctrine of the cross in the Christian message as well as through reconciled lives.
