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.… (més)

Wonderful words, thoughts, and concepts but painfully dense. This may receive a much higher rating after a future reading when I'm on a different part of my spiritual journey. (

To be honest, this book left me with more questions than answers. It was also very heady listening. I could rarely listen to more than one chapter at a sitting, and was often left wondering which side of the argument the writer was on. (

The author explains the significance of Christ's cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement. He also explores what it means to live under the cross.

Detailed, rational analysis of Christ's death on the cross and what it means to mankind. All analyses are based on Biblical texts. I feel it is a very thorough analysis on what the Bible says about the issue. I cannot think of relevant texts that he left unquoted =) He seems to write the book while mindful of Christians who do not accept the doctrine of the cross (namely Christ dying for the sin of mankind, in our place.) So he would delineate views that don't see the cross this way, and argue against these views based on Biblical texts. I find it somewhat interesting because I had not been aware that there are Christians who hold these alternative views. My favorite chapter is the one in which he laid out four different "imagery" of substitution -- propitiation, redemption, justification, and reconciliation. He explained how the imagery are different from each other, drawing from metaphors of altar sacrifice, market, court, and family. And just....went to town with his analysis. I loved it. He doesn't reference the Holy Spirit too much though, which makes it difficult for me to understand the later sections on "crucifying oneself", which I think he takes to mean sanctification. (
