The Theology of The Cross: Reflections on His Cross and Ours

by Daniel M. Deutschlander

Publisher:

Northwestern Publishing House

Overview

The Theology of The Cross is a book on Christian doctrine that reminds us that all biblical doctrine relates to Scripture’s central teaching that God sent his Son to save lost sinners. The Old and New Testaments make it clear that our salvation is found in the cross of Christ. However, there is a paradox between the theology of the cross and the theology of glory. Sinful people tend to overlook the cross and its demands and, instead, focus on the glory that they think they should enjoy because they call themselves Christians. This is a matter of urgent concern. The author helps us see Christ’s cross as our cross. He reminds us that our good works have no value for our salvation. Yet good works are valuable as fruits of faith done out of gratitude to God for his gift of salvation.
