About this listen

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.

Solid, well researched, well written, thoughtful, deeply intricate, and masterful piece academic excellence that is strangely human. I couldn't put it down. Academic pieces don't read this way.

A beautiful presentation of a difficult subject

John Stott’s book is a masterpiece, but poorly read it would be nothing. Simon Vance has really done the subject matter and the author justice.

This book is worth getting even if you read only one chapter. After you have listened to the first 15 min of chapter 1 you will realise what a treat you are in for. I really appreciated the detailed background Stott provides when dealing with complex theological problems and extensive coverage of various perspectives before he wraps up with his own understanding and convictions based on extensive biblical references. My only regret is that I did not read this book when it was first published in the 1980s. I intent to read it again every 5 to 10 years to clear up muddled ideas and bad theology preaches so often today in an era when Jesus is presented as a divine personal assistant rather than the crucified Christ and risen Lord before every knee must bow.

The most profound theological book I have read
