What does the cross, both as a historical event and a symbol of religious discourse, tell us about human beings? In this book, the author 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. The result is a bold view of what philosophical anthropology could look like if it took the scandal of the cross seriously instead of reducing it into general philosophical concepts.
