<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Gospel of Christ Crucified offers a biblical reconstruction of the principal elements that make up the apostolic gospel. Assuming a first-century Jewish worldview, the apostles understood the death of Jesus primarily in sacrificial terms for the atonement of sins. In this way, their presupposed expectations of the future and eternal life remained fundamentally unaltered-the day of the Lord, resurrection of the dead, and kingdom of God would assuredly come because their Messiah had been vindicated by God. Far from changing, spiritualizing, or realizing their Jewish hopes, the death and resurrection of Jesus amplified them.

John treats the cross of Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins in the context of an early Christian, first-century Jewish apocalyptic viewpoint. . . . I would anticipate an exciting future for this book and a wide-ranging distribution, for its careful exegetical discussions are not often seen in such works." --Walter C. Kaiser Jr., Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary</p><p>"There are really only a few Christian books that qualify as being on my 'must-read' list. <em>The Gospel of Christ Crucified</em> is truly at the very top of that list. This book has deeply influenced my own theology and understanding of the gospel unlike few others. I trust it will be an equal blessing to anyone who reads it." --Joel Richardson, best-selling author, filmmaker, and teacher</p><p>"John Harrigan has written a book with deeply impacting content, inspiration, and focus on foundational truths that transform us. . . . Mr. Harrigan's book presses us to see that Christ's return and the coming of the kingdom in fullness is really our deepest heart's desire. Our hearts are set on his death and resurrection, ascension, and second coming." --Daniel C. Juster, Tikkun International Ministries</p><p>"<em>The Gospel of Christ Crucified</em> is a lucid and original work of theology, a fresh wind of scholarship that seeks to return us to a first-century Jewish apocalyptic ethos for interpreting Scripture. . . . This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the theological foundations and the 'last days' preparations of the church of Jesus Christ. Be prepared to be challenged, not just theologically but personally." --David G. Cashin, Columbia International University</p><p>"It is without hyperbole or exaggeration to say that John Harrigan has written one of the most important books of our generation. As we approach the return of the Lord and all that must come first, the message of <em>The Gospel of Christ Crucified</em> is lifting the chin of the global body to see our Blessed Hope more clearly to love him more deeply. It is a profound work and a gift to the church." --Dalton Thomas, Frontier Alliance International</p><br>
