C. J. Mahaney. Christ Our Mediator: Finding Passion at the Cross. Multnomah, 2004. 96 pp.
What’s the Key to Having More Passion for Christ, the Cross, and the Gospel?
The answer is to look at the death of Christ not from our point of view, but from God’s. That’s what this book helps you do in a profound, strategic, and life-changing way.
Author C. J. Mahaney exposes our human tendency to look at the Savior’s death (and at everything else!) through our own subjective feelings and impressions, rather than from the standpoint of objective truth. By nature we always begin with ourselves rather than with God. But by following the God-first “Divine Order” in how we think—and by asking “What do I believe?” instead of “How do I feel?”—we’re freed up to embrace the right truth in the right way. The right feelings quickly follow, and they’re reliable because they’re anchored in truth.

James K. Beilby & Paul R. Eddy, eds. The Nature of the Atonement: Four Views. IVP, 2006. 208 pp.
A long history of biblical exegesis and theological reflection has shaped our understanding of the atonement today. The more prominent highlights of this history have acquired familiar names for the household of faith: Christus Victor, penal substitutionary, subjective, and governmental.
Recently the penal substitutionary view, and particularly its misappropriations, has been critiqued, and a lively debate has taken hold within evangelicalism. This book offers a “panel” discussion of four views of atonement maintained by four evangelical scholars.

G. Campbell Morgan. The Crises of the Christ. Wipf & Stock, 2005. 478 pp.
Over the years many books based on the Life of Christ have been published. Of these, some have emphasized the facts of His humanity, others the truth of his Deity. While these volumes, therefore, present the Person of Jesus, this work—by the “Prince of Expositors”—examines His Life as the accomplishment of a Divine work.
With rare insight, accuracy of definition, and countless illuminating strokes, G. Campbell Morgan devotes these thirty-three chapters to the pivotal events in Christ’s life. The seven “crises” are: the Birth, the Baptism, the Temptation, the Transfiguration, the Death, the Resurrection, and the Ascension. Included is a preliminary chapter, “The Call for Christ—Man Fallen,” and a concluding chapter, “The Answer for Christ—Man Redeemed.” Four indexes complete the volume.

Leon Morris. The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross. Eerdmans, 1955. 318 pp.
This modern classic of biblical scholarship explains what the apostles meant when they used such words as “redeem,” “covenant,” “propitiate,” “reconcile,” and “justify.” Leon Morris carefully explores these themes against the backgrounds of both Old Testament Judaism and New Testament Christianity—a rewarding task that results in a more complete understanding of these key Christian terms.

John Stott. The Cross of Christ. 20th Anniversary Edition. IVP, 2006. 380 pp.
From one of the foremost preachers and Christian leaders of our day comes theology at its readable best, a contemporary restatement of the meaning of the cross. At the cross Stott finds the majesty and love of God disclosed, the sin and bondage of the world exposed.
More than a study of the atonement, this book brings Scripture into living dialogue with Christian theology and the twentieth century. What emerges is a pattern for Christian life and worship, hope and mission.
Destined to be a classic study of the center of our faith, Stott’s work is the product of a uniquely gifted pastor, scholar and Christian statesman. His penetrating insight, charitable scholarship and pastoral warmth are guaranteed to feed both heart and mind.
