Publisher's Description

Philip G. Ryken celebrates Easter with this thoughtful guidebook to understanding the cross. Seven answers to seven questions explain the why and the wherefore of the cross for a Biblical faith and a Christian life.

Ryken covers the necessity of the cross for salvation; the offense it gives to Jews, Gentiles, and any moral individual; the peace it brings to those who trust in Christ; the power it has to achieve God's loving, saving purpose; the triumph it wins over sin, death, and the judgment of God; the humility it displays in the character of Jesus; and the boast it becomes for every believer.

“Phil Rykens book brings us to our knees before the Lamb that was slain. He shocks us, challenges us, and comforts us with Christ crucified. Whether you are new to Christianity or a mature believer, there is no better place to be than at the foot of the cross. Read this book slowly, prayerfully, meditatively, and let its amazing truths penetrate the depth of your soul.”

“As practical as it is profound, Salvation by Crucifixion explains why the cross is at the heart of the Christian faith, and exalts the Christ who willingly ascended that cross to secure salvation for His people. It is a book that will encourage the believer and challenge the unbeliever as it displays the nature of Gods redeeming love.”

“The message of the cross has many features that are culturally distant to every generation. It is also so profound that believers will keep discovering rich new levels of truth about it as long they live. Therefore we need to regularly reflect on the cross. This book is an excellent aid to such reflection because it presents deep and profound insights into the cross written in a spiritually enriching way. It is also a good book to give as an introduction to the cross to one unfamiliar with its message.”

“The crucifixion of Jesus—an insignificant event or the epicenter of history? Dr. Ryken in his striking exploration of this question shows the many facets of the Bibles teaching on the cross. Jesus identity and mission shine out clearly. This book will be interesting and helpful for Christians and non-Christians alike.”

“The cross is the center of the Christian life and message. Any time we think of Christ we think of the cross. But what does it mean? And how does that apply to our lives? This little book will help explain that to interested readers.”

“Artful, but simple; compact, but loaded; sound, but fresh. This book is a jewel. Some passages sing. It well repays the time it takes to read it.”
