Résumé : |
The universal symbol of the Christian faith is not 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 masterly book, John Stott explains the significance of Christ’s cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement.
In the first part of the Book Dr Stott shows from the four Gospels how our Lord himself understood the cross. In the second he argues that « Christ in our place” is the heart of its meaning. Next he demonstrates what the cross achieved and then, in the final part, he explores what it means to live under the cross. Whether as superb biblical exposition, or as characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief, or as a searching call to the Church to live under the cross John Stott’s latest book will have a wide appeal. |
