Gloria Crucis
addresses delivered in Lichfield Cathedral Holy Week and Good Friday, 1907
Transcribed from the 1908 Longmans, Green, and Co. edition by David Price
"Gloria Crucis" by J. H. Beibitz is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work is based on a series of addresses delivered in Lichfield Cathedral during Holy Week in 1907. It focuses on the significance of the Cross of Christ, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and the Atonement, while challenging traditional theological interpretations that emphasize penal substitution. Beibitz presents a view of the Atonement that emphasizes restoration and the retreat from sin rather than mere forgiveness from punishment. The opening of "Gloria Crucis" sets the stage for a profound examination of the nature of sin and the Atonement. Beibitz argues against views of the Atonement that portray God as vengeful, instead emphasizing that Christ's death represents the ultimate expression of God's love and the pathway to rejuvenation and reconciliation with the Divine. He addresses the historical and spiritual implications of Christ's crucifixion, suggesting that sin itself is the root cause of humanity’s plight. With theological reflections rooted in both Scripture and contemporary thought, the author seeks to offer a transformative understanding of the Cross, inviting readers to recognize its enduring relevance in their lives.
