Publisher's Summary

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.

A must for everyone’s Audible library!

This is my third time through John Stott’s book: twice read and third time by audio. Absolutely well written and well read by the narrator. If you’re having problems understanding the Holy Bible, or you need any inspiration, aside from reading the Holy Bible, listen to this by Audible. John Stott’s The Cross of Christ is the modern version basis of Christianity. Highly recommended!

Stunning; Educational and Enlightening

I loved this book. Really, truly loved it.

The narrator is perfect for this sort of book. I rather felt like I was listening to a professor, not simply a narrator.

More than that however, it took me nearly 6 months to listen to this fully. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but because at least once or twice per chapter, something would be said, and I'd have to stop and mull over the idea for a while. Sometimes up to a week. John Stott is in a class of his own to have been able to boil down such a breadth of theological thought into what is actually quite a short book. When you consider that the theology of the cross has been written about by thousands of thinkers over the last 2 millenia, reducing its elements to a 14 hour presentation is an astronomical feat.

There is little that he doesn't touch on, but this is no textbook either, so those who wish to dive even deeper into this subject had best do further reading. Stott references so many people in this book though, it'll fill up a "To Read" list very quickly.
