A Philosophical Anthropology of the Cross

What does the cross, both as a historical event and a symbol of religious discourse, tell us about human beings? In this provocative book, Brian Gregor draws together a hermeneutics of the self--through Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Taylor--and a theology of the cross--through Luther, Kierkegaard, Bonhoeffer, and Jüngel--to envision a phenomenology of the cruciform self.
