John Stott’s recent retirement from public ministry was preceded about a year ago by the publishing of a special edition of what must be one of his finest contributions to popular theology - ‘The Cross of Christ’. The book highlights the centrality of the cross to the historic Christian faith, a theological explanation of the death of Jesus in the gospels and the New Testament, the need for an atonement in God’s forgiveness of sinful people, the biblical basis for such concepts as satisfaction for sin, and the self-substitution of God in the atonement.
