"The Cross of Christ" and "The Contemporary Christian"
'A distinctive characteristic of the gospel is that it brings the past out of the past and makes it present; that is, it confronts us with past events as present realities.' .. from John Stotts Preface
In this double volume, John Stott brings together two key books which dovetail with one another in promoting such and encounter between past and present.
Though one concerns the meaning of an ancient event, and the concerns what it means to follow Jesus Christ today, both bring the past into the present. One focuses upon the defining certre of Christian faith; the other voices 'an urgent plea for double listening' today. The call is to listen to God as He continues to speak to us through His Word, and to listen to the world in order to feel and understand its predicatment.
