From the Back Cover

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.

John Stott's modern classic is as sharp and pertinent as ever it was. It
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.
