Description

The universal symbol of the Christian faith is neither a crib nor a manger, but a gruesome cross. Yet many people are unclear about its meaning, and cannot understand why Christ had to die.

In this magisterial and best-selling book, John Stott explains the significance of Christ's cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement.

First, Dr Stott shows from the four Gospels how Jesus himself understood the cross. Next, he argues that 'Christ in our place' is the heart of its meaning. Then he explains what the cross achieved, and finally he explores what it means to live under the cross.

John Stott's modern classic combines an excellent biblical exposition, and a characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief, with a searching call to the church to live under the cross.

No other treatment of this supreme subject says so much so truly and so well.

This could well be the most important evangelical book on the cross since... James Denney.

It is, quite simply, superb - one of the finest works of our time.

“Most helpful book I've read as a Christian”

Jesus' death that takes God's wrath instead of us is the climax of God's plan. This book takes you through the neccessity of the cross, the function of the cross, and living in the light of the cross. It's a long and hard book that took me three goes, and two years, to read. But it's awesome. So helpful and immensely challenging. If you only read one Christian book in your life. Make it this one
