The Theology of the Cross and Gospel Receptivity; Cari Chittick and Alfonso Espinosa
Abstract: The theology of the cross provides a Christological and cruciform lens for assisting the church to identify possible receptivity in those who not only demonstrate need in various forms of poverty but also profess reverence toward God through recognized humility. Such recognitions should enable a better stewardship of the church's mission endeavor. Dr. Espinosa presents a theological foundation for these possibilities and Dr. Chittick elaborates on left-hand kingdom resources that may very well facilitate opportunities for right-hand kingdom mission, especially as these possibilities might apply to Lutheran schools. The article expresses a special interest in serving students with special needs, who too often are marginalized even by the church.
