A series of blog posts that reflect on two books by Greg Boyd, Crucifixion of the Warrior God and Cross Visions.
I start with a single short review Crucifixion of the Warrior God. Then comes a series of 27 posts where I interact in detail with CWG and offer an alternative reading strategy that, like Boyd, also affirms the Bible’s nonviolence. Finally, I offer seven posts that interact with CV.
