n nThe Cross is the universal symbol of the Christian faith. But what does the Cross mean? Why did Jesus have to die? n nIn this magisterial and best-selling book, John Stott explains the significance of Christs cross and answers objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement. n nStott will help you discover how Jesus himself understood the cross, and how Christ in our place is at the heart of its meaning. Understand what the cross achieved, and learn what it means to live under the cross. n nThis modern classic combines excellent biblical exposition, and a characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief, with a searching call to the church to live under the cross.n
