I read it slowly and devotionally over a period of several months. I found that it edified and challenged me, thrilled me with the glory of the cross and equipped me to answer some of the questions non-Christians and sceptics ask about the cross--Ajith Fernando, teaching director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka<br><br>I read everything John Stott writes because I know it will be biblical, well-reasoned and contextually applicable. <i>The Cross of Christ</i> is an intelligent, imaginative and timely exploration of the centrality of the cross, by a personal mentor I've come to appreciate for his scholar's mind and pastor's heart; he knows God deeply, understands the times clearly and engagingly explains truth in a relativistic age.--Dick Staub, author of Too Christian, Too Pagan<br><br>In our world of war and terror, there is nothing more important to contemplate than the cross of Christ. May John Stott's reflections give us the courage to fight, with all the love within us, the war of the slaughtered Lamb. The cross teaches us there is something worth dying for but nothing worth killing for, that we can conquer evil without mirroring it. So grab this book and get ready to live real good and get beat up real bad. It is the story of our faith.--Shane Claiborne, author of The Irresistible Revolution<br><br>John Stott rises grandly to the challenge of the greatest of all themes. All the qualities that we expect of him--biblical precision, thoughtfulness and thoroughness, order and method, moral alertness and the measured tread, balanced judgment and practical passion--are here in fullest evidence. This, more than any book he has written, is his masterpiece.--J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God<br><br>John Stott's marvellous treatment of the biblical, theological and practical meaning of the cross is more needed today than ever, especially in light of its uncompromising defence of the heart of Christ's death for us as a "propitiation", a sacrifice that bore God's wrath in our place and turned his wrath to favour for undeserving sinners--Wayne Grudem<br><br>Outside of the Bible itself, this may be the best book I've ever read on the cross of Christ. It is thorough, thoughtful and timely. As I read it, my mind was challenged, my heart was warmed, my faith was strengthened, and my focus was sharpened on the cross. Praise God for just giving us Jesus with nail prints in his hands and feet!--Anne Graham Lotz, author of Just Give Me Jesus<br><br>Rarely does a volume of theology combine six cardinal virtues, but John Stott's The Cross of Christ does so magnificently. It says what must be said about the cross; it gently but firmly warns against what must not be said; it grounds its judgments in biblical texts, again and again; it hierarchizes its arguments so that the main thing is always the main thing; it is written with admirable clarity; and it is so cast as to elicit genuine worship and thankfulness from any thoughtful reader. There are not many 'must read' books - books that belong on every minister's shelf, and on the shelves of thoughtful laypersons who want a better grasp of what is central in Scripture - but this is one of them.--D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School<br>
