<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>With the central Christian doctrine of penal substitution increasingly under attack, these authors articulate a series of responses to specific theological and cultural criticisms.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The belief that Jesus died for us, suffering the wrath of his own Father in our place, has been the wellspring of hope for countless Christians through the ages. However, with an increasing number of theologians, church leaders, and even popular Christian books and magazines questioning this doctrine, which naysayers have described as a form of "cosmic child abuse," a fresh articulation and affirmation of penal substitution is needed. And Jeffery, Ovey, and Sach have responded here with clear exposition and analysis.</p><p>They make the case not only that the doctrine is clearly taught in Scripture, but that it has an impeccable pedigree and a central place in Christian theology, and that its neglect has serious consequences. The authors also systematically analyze over twenty specific objections that have been brought against penal substitution and charitably but firmly offer a defining declaration of the doctrine of the cross for any concerned reader.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>John Piper</strong> is founder and lead teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. He served for thirty-three years as the pastor for preaching and vision of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is the author of more than fifty books, including <em>Desiring God</em>; <em>Don't Waste Your Life</em>; and <em>Reading the Bible Supernaturally</em>.</p><p><strong>Steve Jeffery</strong> is a minister at Emmanuel Evangelical Church in Southgate, London.
