Recipient of a 1988 ECPA Gold Medallion Award! An Eternity 1987 Book of the Year! "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 -- a world now haunted by the memories of Auschwitz, the pain of oppression and the specter of nuclear war. Can we see triumph in tragedy, victory in shame? Why should an object of Roman distaste and Jewish disgust be the emblem of our worship and the axiom of our faith? 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 dialog with Christian theology and the twentieth 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.

In order for Christians to appreciate and enoy their assurance of salvation, it is only natural for them to understandly the purpose of the cross of Christ. Dr Stott in this wonderful book, "The Cross of Christ" gives a superb biblical exposition on this important topic. The first few chapters are slow, but once you get into the fourth chapter to the end, then it is thought provoking and biblically sound, especially the chapter on "the self-substitution of God". The real resons why God chose a cross is revealed. The answers to questions such as, why Jesus needed to die? Why is God the Father's wrath appeased by the death of His Son? Also, critical words such as justification, propitiation, redemption and sanctified are discussed and explained throughout the book. This book is heartily recommended for all those who want to get to the crux of the cross. A must read.
