Explore the what and why of Christ’s work, and see how it shapes faith, doubt, and church life.
This edition adapts Peter Taylor Forsyth’s early-20th-century lectures into a clear, accessible look at the heart of Christian belief: how God’s work in Christ reconciles the world, and what that means for judgment, forgiveness, and the life of the Church. Written for ministers and lay readers alike, it links the Cross to concrete faith and daily practice, without losing its historical and theological depth.
- See how Forsyth distinguishes God’s sacrifice from human efforts and why the Church’s mission hinges on a united moral order.
- Understand reconciliation, atonement, and judgment as a single, living framework for Christian faith.
- Learn how a robust, historically grounded theology can support a practical, spiritual life.
- Appreciate the balance between personal faith and communal church life in the gospel’s work.
Ideal for readers of Christian theology, church leaders, and anyone seeking a thoughtful, accessible discussion of the Cross and its meaning for today.
