In today's theological landscape the significance of the cross has become strongly affirmed and radically questioned. This exciting volume gathers theologians and historians who have thought through these critical and constructive issues: Do traditional understandings of the cross valorize suffering or violence? Are the older soteriological models, which see redemption as a kind of ransom or debt satisfaction, fitting for the contemporary worldview? Do they produce a piety that acquiesces in needless suffering, or does the cross precisely meet the massive suffering and injustice of today's world? Following an expert introduction to the issues and options by editor Marit Trelstad, each author addresses the Christian symbol of the cross in the context of current theological, sociological, political, or environmental issues.

In Cross Examinations of Law and Literature Brook Thomas uses legal thought and legal practice as a lens through which to read some of the important fictions of antebellum America. The lens reflects both ways, and we learn as much about the literature in the context of contemporary legal concerns as we do about the legal ideologies that the fiction subverts or reveals. Successive chapters deal with Cooper's Pioneers and Hawthorne's The House of Seven Gables (property law and the image of the judiciary), Melville's "Benito Cereno" and Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (slavery), Melville's White Jacket, Pierre and "Bartleby" (worker exploitation or wage slavery), The Confidence-Man (contracts), and finally, "Billy Budd," which examines a number of issues illustrative of the triumph of legal formalism after the Civil War.

To wonder why another book on cross-examination is published is to evidence a lack of understanding of and appreciation for the nature of the litigator's art and the practice of law. Indeed, that for centuries it has been referred to as the practice of law suggests that the lawyer who considers the law a profession never completes his education. Thus, for the litigating lawyer who is dedicated to his profession the practice of law is and endless learning process whose most efficacious lessons come not from a classroom or professor but from other practicing lawyers and judges, - in the crucible of the courtroom, in tales told at favored watering holes and in transcripts of cases tried by litigating legends. Our hope is that sometime, somewhere, some litigating lawyer will face what appears to be an insoluble problem in cross-examination and in this book find, if not the solution, at least some thoughts on how to solve the problem.
