Narratives of a vulnerable God: Christ, theology and Scripture

---

William Placher confronts challenging questions: Does a theology with a male savior inevitabl contribute to the oppression of women? Does a theology with a suffering savior valorize suffering in a way that ony makes it likely to continue? Is a theology that identifies one human figure as the self-revelation of God, the unique savior, somehow intrinsically unfair to and oppressive of adherents of other religions traditions?
This insightful study of how Jesus reflects God will be interesting and accessible not only to scholars but to pastors and church members. Well-known author William Placher shows that the God revealed in Jesus Christ is portrayed in the biblical narratives as a God willing to risk vulnerability in order to fully love creation.
