The Cruciality of the Cross

P. T. Forsyth explains the importance of the Atonement; by perishing in agony upon the crucifix, Christ atoned for the sins of humanity.
The Gospels of the New Testament tell of how Jesus lived His life, the teachings He delivered and how He came to be sentenced to death. Yet the essence and depth of the message carried within the death of the Lord Jesus is not necessarily understood by all believers who read their Bible. Thus the author wrote this book, that the vital lessons of Jesus Christ and the atonement He undertook upon the crucifix are understood. The moral and ethical implications of the death of Christ are great; it is these which P. T. Forsyth explains with superb clarity.
As one of Scotland's appreciated theologians, P. T. Forsyth's knowledge and study of the Bible and the history of Christianity is renowned. He sought to explain and clarify the most important lessons and beliefs of the Biblical for the modern believer. Passionate and lively in his explanations, Forsyth's works remain read and in print more than a century on, with Christians eager for a deeper connection with their faith turning to the works of this learned scholar.
