What Was God Doing on the Cross?

What Was God Doing on the Cross? is a theological, thought-provoking work on the meaning of the cross of Christ. The author takes up the fundamental question of what Jesus' death on the cross means for our understanding of God's justice, love, and salvation. In clear, reasoned language he surveys different views of the atonement and shows how the cross stands at the center of the Christian faith, expressing God's participation in human suffering and the fulfillment of His plan of salvation. The book invites the reader into a deeper grasp of the mystery of the cross and its place in the life of faith.
