Synopsis

D. A. Carson, one of today's most notable Bible scholars, introduces the irony, scandal, and greatness of the work done on the cross.How are Christians to approach the central gospel teachings concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus? The Bible firmly establishes the historicity of these events and doesn't leave their meanings ambiguous or open to interpretation. Even so, there is an irony and surprising strangeness to the cross. Carson shows that this strange irony has deep implications for our lives as he examines the history and theology of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection.Scandalous is the latest addition to the Re:Lit series, which highlights important theological truths in accessible and applicable ways. Both amateur theologians and general readers will appreciate how Carson deftly preserves weighty theology while simultaneously noting the broader themes of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through exposition of five primary passages of Scripture, Carson helps us to more fully understand and appreciate the scandal of the cross.

3.5 Stars The gospel is as glorious as 10,000 sunrises, so my rather vanilla reaction to this book has nothing to do with its principal subject. I just didn't find anything particularly "unique" in Carson's work. Others surely did, and thank God for that! It's competent and solid, but it wouldn't be......more

Goodreads review by David on January 12, 2012

D.A. Carson is one of my favorite theologians. This is a collection of his sermons on the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Carson spends a significant amount of time detailing the doctrine of penal substitution. An interesting and refreshing reminder of the heart of the Gospel and what Christ......more
