"This wonderful book is must reading. Stricken by God? addresses one of the problems that is most alive today, the view of the Crucifixion as the vengeance of a wrathful God which is held by some traditional Christian theologies. The writers counter with a rich variety of analyses whose common thread is that violence comes from man and not from God." - Rene Girard
"Stricken by God? is as fine a collection of scholarly essays on the atonement as one can find in print. This book offers insightful,compelling and refreshing alternatives to the penal substitution view of the atonement and is a must read for all who care deeply about how Jesus' death saves us." - Gregory A. Boyd
Jon Pahl of Luther Theological Seminary says, “Anyone who has preached, taught, heard or wondered about a ‘theology of the cross’ needs to read this book. The authors collectively offer startling biblical, theological, historical and cultural insights that can help turn Christians away from violence and toward peacemaking.”
Ted Grimsrud of Eastern Mennonite University recommends Stricken by God?, “It is difficult to overstate the importance of this collection. For way too long, Christian atonement theology has underwritten violence in the name of retributive justice. However, now we have in one place essays from a wide variety of Christian traditions and perspectives that make a persuasive case for salvation theologies that have peace rather than violence at their core.”
