Scandalous (A new book about the Cross by D. A. Carson)

From the preface of this new book about "The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus," here are three excerpted sentences:

- "The entire Bible pivots on one weekend in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago."

- "Jesus' own followers did not expect him to be crucified; they certainly did not expect him to rise again."

- "It is as important to to know what these events mean as to know that they happened."

From page 36: "Jesus cries this cry, "My God! I am forsaken!" so that for all eternity Don Carson* will not have to."

*Put your name here instead if you too are a believer. 

Amen.
