Publisher's Synopsis
In this book Father Muller looks at the question of the relationship between the suffering of Jesus on the cross, the salvation of humanity and the love of God. It is easy for people to think that the crucifixion represents God's exaction of a penalty, as though someone must suffer for sin --- either all of humanity or Jesus, who suffers in their stead. Rather than seeing this image of an apparently vindictive God, Father Muller calls us to look at the true meaning of the crucifixion within the context of a merciful and loving Father concerned more with the salvation of his children than with their punishment.
