Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Iulia on October 16, 2021

"Cu ce-as putea sa ma mândresc? Că daruri n-am, nici fapte Cu învierea-I ma fălesc Cu salvatoarea-I moarte!" Crucea, stindardul credinței creștine, e locul în care converg toate drumurile trecutului și de aici se despart toate drumurile viitorului. Înțelegând ce s-a întâmplat la cruce, înțelegem persoan......more
