The Way of the Cross in Human Relations

Guy Hershberger's The Way of the Cross in Human Relations brings the teachings of Jesus Christ to bear on the complexities of modern living and human relations problems. Every person's responsibility is examined in the light of God's eternal purpose.

Hershberger critically examines the theology and practice of the medieval church and the Reformers, the Anabaptists, social gospel advocates, social action groups and fundamentalists, along with a look at business, labor, and race relations, the ethics of various professions, the responsibility of the state and the role of community, family, and individuals. All are brought under the searchlight of Christian discipleship.

Through it all Hershberger concludes that the way of the cross applies to the world we live in today—the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ provide sufficient power for the redemption of all humankind.
