Forsaken

The Trinity, the Cross and Why It Matters.
My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" How should a Christian interpret " this passage? What implications does the cross have for the trinitarian
theology? Did the Father kill the Son? Theologian Thomas McCall presents a
trinitarian reading of Christ's darkest moment--the moment of his prayer to his
heavenly Father from the cross. McCall revisits the biblical texts and surveys
the various interpretations of JesusÆ cry, ranging from early church
theologians to the Reformation to contemporary theologians. Along the way, he
explains the terms of the scholarly debate and clearly marks out what he
believes to be the historically orthodox point of view. By approaching the
Son's cry to the Father as an event in the life of the Triune God, Forsaken
seeks to recover the true poignancy of the orthodox perspective on the cross.
Forsaken treats some deep topics in gospel teaching about God and the " works of God with economy, clarity, analytical rigor and spiritual penetration.
This is a compelling reflection on matters at the heart of Christian
faith. - John Webster"
