Book Description

Publisher's Description:

"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.

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."--Crossway Books

Endorsements:

"This book is an edited version of five messages which Dr. Carson preached at a conference on the West Coast. In my judgment, they represent Dr. Carson at his best. The material is thoroughly exegetical, intensely pastoral, and bristles with gripping illustrative material. I highly recommend it as a book that will not only be refreshing and challenging to pastors and preachers, but will strengthen the faith and deepen the love and devotion to the person of Christ in every child of God who reads it in dependence upon the Holy Spirit". --P. Albert N. Martin
