Brian Gregor (Professor)
A Philosophical Anthropology of the Cross: The Cruciform Self (Philosophy of Religion) 
Indiana University Press, March 2013

What does the cross, both as a historical event and a symbol of religious discourse, tell us about human beings? In this provocative book, Brian Gregor draws together a hermeneutics of the self―through Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Taylor―and a theology of the cross―through Luther, Kierkegaard, Bonhoeffer, and Jüngel―to envision a phenomenology of the cruciform self. The result is a bold and original view of what philosophical anthropology could look like if it took the scandal of the cross seriously instead of reducing it into general philosophical concepts.
