Cross of Christ | John Stott

The work of a lifetime, from one of the world's most influential thinkers, about the heart of the Christian faith. "John Stott rises grandly to the challenge of the greatest of all themes. All the qualities that we expect of him--biblical precision, thoughtfulness and thoroughness, order and method, moral alterness and the measured tread, balanced judgment and practical passion--are here in fullest evidence. This, more than any book he has written, is his masterpiece." --J. I. Packer, Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College "Thorough, thoughtful and timely. As I read it, my mind was challenged, my heart was warmed, my faith was strengthened, and my focus was sharpened on the cross. Praise God for just giving us Jesus with nail prints in his hands and feet!" --Anne Graham Lotz, author of Just Give Me Jesus "For an evenhanded and robust defense of the penal substitution theory of the atonement, John Stott's The Cross of Christ is the benchmark. With a deft hand, Stott has given us a classic articulation of this influential evangelical doctrine that is both vigorous and readable. Books like this stand the test of time." --Tony Jones, author of The Sacred Way "There are not many 'must read' books--books that belong on every minister's shelf and on the shelves of thoughtful laypersons who want a better grasp of what is central in Scripture--but this is one of them." --D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "Grab this book and get ready to live real good and get beat up real bad. It is the story of our faith." --Shane Clairborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution "Profound in a way that few evangelical books have been in recent years. It is compelling in its simplicity and comprehensive in its grasp of the way in which God conquers our sin, our rebellion, our ghastly evil through the person of Christ." --David F. Wells, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "One of the outstanding books of all times." --Luis Palau, international evangelist
