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.

The Cross of Christ with Study Guide
Seller: Christian Value Books, Papanui, New Zealand
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover/Hardback. Condition: Fair. The work of a lifetime, from one of the world's most influential thinkers, about the heart of the Christian faith. "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 dialogue 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. Seller Inventory # 240724
