Abstract

The term theologia crucis was certainly coined by M. Luther, nevertheless his content is based in New Testament. Luther points out and develops theologically what Paul said, for example: man cannot attaint righteousness in any degree by keeping the works of the law, but solely by grace of Christ’s cross (Rm 3:20-25). In this sense, Loyola’s contemplation of the passion and dead of Jesus aims not only the idea that Jesus is made more involved with mankind by His identifying with our trials and tribulations; Ignatius will first of all help to grasp and deepen how God is of course hidden in suffering of his Son, but at the same time is at work in all human dolor and cross as the Savior from sin, trials and dead.
