About the Book

In his revolutionary book Cross Vision, Gregory A. Boyd proposed his groundbreaking "cruciform hermeneutic," a way for Christians to make sense of the violence of the Old Testament by seeing it through the crucifixion of Jesus. Now Boyd has teamed up with pastor Deacon Godsey to develop this study guide for individuals and groups. Using this guide, readers can work through Cross Vision chapter by chapter, consider various stories from the Bible, and hear from Boyd about questions that have come up since he wrote the book. The Cross Vision Study Guide is an essential aid for anyone wrestling with depictions of a violent God, yet living with faith in a peaceful Christ.

About the Author :
Gregory A. Boyd is an internationally recognized theologian, preacher, teacher, apologist, and author. He is the cofounder and senior pastor of Woodland Hills Church in Maplewood, Minnesota, the founder and President of ReKnew Ministries (ReKnew.org), and the author or coauthor of more than twenty books, including Crucifixion of the Warrior God and Cross Vision.

Review :
"The Bible is a violent book that ultimately points us to the nonviolent God revealed in Jesus Christ. But to trace how a violent sacred text leads us to the nonviolent Christ can present many a conundrum. Instead of shying away from this task, Gregory A. Boyd and Deacon Godsey seek to guide conversation partners through a serious engagement with the Bible in the definitive light of the cross. I'm confident that The Cross Vision Study Guide will help Christians to read the Bible in a way that is both faithful to the text and faithful to Christ." --Brian Zahnd, pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri and author of Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
