Richard B. Hays quote: "God has chosen to save the world through the cross, through the shameful and<br />powerless death of the crucified Messiah. If that shocking event is the<br />revelation of the deepest truth about the character of God, then our whole way<br />of seeing the world is turned upside down… all values are transformed… God<br />refuses to play games of power and prestige on human terms."
