The book explores the perception among Asians, both Christians and followers of other faiths, that Western Christianity often neglects the profound significance of the Cross. Koyama argues that the way Jesus bore his Cross contrasts sharply with the superficial interpretations seen in Western contexts. He highlights the painful reality that many Asians feel victimized by the crucifixion, presenting this disconnection as a critical missiological challenge for the Church today.

'Love has its speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.'
