Embodiment of Cruciformity in Christian Living

This chapter explores the concept of 'non-identical repetition' in the Christian faith, emphasizing how believers can reflect Christ's values through inspired narratives. It discusses Paul's triad of faith, hope, and love while re-evaluating the notion of power in relation to the cross and its implications in modern contexts. Through narrative criticism and theological perspectives, the chapter critiques individualism in contemporary American churches, advocating for a collective embodiment of the gospel in community life.
