The ultimate explanation and exposition of why Jesus came

I was exposed to this book as part of a class at my church on Christology (the study of the nature of Christ). It made the person and work of Jesus Christ clearer than anything I have ever read. Unresolvable issues like why Jesus had to be completely God and completely man are made inescapably clear. If you dare to really know who Jesus Christ is, and what he did for you, I encourage you to read this book.

Thoughtful, thorough and thrilling explanation of the Cross

If you ever want to find out what is at the very heart of the Christian faith Stott argues that the death of Jesus is crucial. Although a serious read which convincingly refutes many of the wrong and inadequate views of the Cross, Stott leaves us with an understanding of the event that is coherrent, powerful and ultimately thrilling. As well as providing understanding, the book explores what it truly means to live 'under the shadow' of the Cross, demonstrating that the very best theology is extremely practical - indeed, life-changing.

Totally compelling!

I can't agree with the above review (kamann@) more. I believed in God but not Christ in April of 1991. A minister said a few words about the the substitution meaning of "for" in "Christ died for us" and I asked where I could read more about this. The minister handed me this volume. In short time ICor 18 became true for me: "For the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the wisdom and power of God." I scare can take it in. I pray that God has mercy on all who read this, as He did on me, surely chief of sinners. I ordered a copy for a friend at this review time.

An engaging look at why the cross was necessary

It has been a long time since I have read a book that was as well research and written as Stott's The Cross of Christ. I especially enjoyed the chapters that dealt with both the holiness of God and how the crucifixion allowed the creation of a new convenant with sinful man. While reading this book I happened to listen to a series of tapes on the holiness of God by Sproule. The combination of Stott's book and the tapes was absolutely enthralling.
