"There are not many 'must read' books - but this is one of them." -- D.A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
The work of a lifetime, from one of the world's most influential thinkers, about the heart of the Christian faith. This is Stott's masterpiece volume.
"I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" With compelling honesty John Stott confronts this generation with the centrality of the cross in God's redemption of the world.
Yet how is it that an object of Roman execution and Jewish disgust became the heart of our gospel and the emblem of our worship? And what does it mean for us today? Now from one of the foremost preachers and Christian leaders of our day comes theology at its readable best, a contemporary restatement of the meaning of the cross. At the cross, Stott finds the majesty and love of God disclosed, the sin and bondage of the world exposed.
More than a study of the atonement, this book brings Scripture into living dialogue with Christian theology and the 20th century. What emerges is a pattern for Christian life and worship, hope and mission. Destined to be a classic study of the center of our faith, Stott's work is the product of a uniquely gifted pastor, scholar and Christian statesman. His penetrating insight, charitable scholarship and pastoral warmth are guaranteed to feed both heart and mind.
