Synopsis

This book delves into the centrality of the cross of Christ for Christian belief and practice. The book examines the significance of Christ’s crucifixion in light of contemporary understandings of punishment, forgiveness, sacrifice, and moral transformation. The author argues that the cross reveals God's condemnation of humanity's moral failures and provides a way to escape through Christ's sacrifice. The themes explored include the ruin of human nature due to sin, God's revulsion toward it, the divine purpose to punish yet forgive sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and humanity's utter helplessness in saving itself.
