About this book
When Jesus cried, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" did the Father truly abandon the Son--or does that interpretation threaten the unity of the Trinity? This book enters a crucial modern debate shaped by Hans Urs von Balthasar and Jurgen Moltmann, whose influential readings of Christ's cry of dereliction have helped to reshape contemporary Christology and trinitarian thought. With careful biblical exegesis and engagement with the church's historic confession, the study tests these proposals against classical trinitarian theology and asks whether modern doctrines of "God-abandonment" remain faithful to the faith once delivered to the saints.
Clear, rigorous, and pastorally attentive, this work seeks to recover a biblically grounded understanding of the cross that honors both the depth of Christ's suffering and the eternal unity of Father, Son, and Spirit--offering clarity for pastors, theologians, and students wrestling with one of the most significant questions in Christian theology.
