Re: The story of Jesus and the place of the cross
A good book hitting on all the theoretical points made in this post is The Nonviolent Atonement (Erdmans, 2001) by J. Denny Weaver. He writes from a Mennonite faith tradition. Weaver argues for a Narrative Christus Victor approach to the death of Jesus. I caution that Weaver is not mainstream, according to sources of mine who know both Weaver and are within the Mennonite tradition. The nice thing about the book is that along the way he surveys most if not all of the significant theories on the meaning of the death of Jesus and pulls in Liberation, Black, Feminist and Womanist theologies.
