The theology of the cross and a church thirled to a theology of glory

The whole history of Christianity,

and the history of the world,

would have followed a different course

if it had not been that again and
again

the theology of the cross

became a theology of glory,

and that the
church of the cross

became a church of glory.

—Theologian Emil Brunner, The Mediator, 1927

The cross is “the signature of the one who is risen.”

—Biblical theologian Ernst Käsemann, Perspectives on Paul, 1969
