C. Norman Kraus challenges some of the unwarranted claims of orthodoxy from a consistent and rigorous biblical position. One of his most significant contributions is the development of the idea that shame and alienation, rather than guilt, control our interpretation of God's vicarious action on our behalf. Kraus provides a more comprehensive biblical vision of salvation than is typical of traditional Western theologies and delineates a discipleship which is authentic without being legalistic. A companion volume to God Our Savior.
