about

" That a good man may have his back to the wall is no more than we knew already; but that God could have his back to the wall is a boast for all insurgents for ever. Christianity is the only religion on earth that has felt that omnipotence made God incomplete. Christianity alone has felt that God, to be wholly God, must have been a rebel as well as a king." G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy.

For Fans Of: Death In June (minus Nazism), Johnny Cash, the Christus Victor theory of atonement,

lyrics

God is a criminal
He's no cop at all
He had his back up against the wall
Unjustly arrested
Falsely accused
Tortured to death
The King of the Jews
Christus Victor

God is a criminal
Scum of the earth
Of unlovely appearance
Ignominious birth
The leaders despised him for the things he would say
"The poor will be filled, the rich sent away."
Christus Victor

God is a criminal under the gun
Can't see the Father except through the Son
The Lover of Sinners who seeks for the lost
All that I know I learned from the cross
Christus Victor
