The Crucifixion of Jesus:

- A dreadful mistake?
- A tragic failure?
- Irrelevant?
- Absurd?
- An Embarrassment?

The cross of Christ is, in fact, at the centre of God's plan for men and women. This book explains why.

Using a wealth of illustration, Mark Meynell looks with freshness and clarity at the Bible's teaching, to show how God himself 'cross-examines' us in the death of Jesus.

At the cross, God exposes our deepest need, meets it fully and enables us to live transformed lives.

'Mark Meynell has an enviable ability to take the ancient story and, without twisting or diluting it, bring it to life for the post-modern world, the world of Douglas Coupland and of meandering students who find commitment to truth a dubious enterprise.'
- (Derek Tidball, London Bible College)

Mark Meynell was Students' Curate at Christ Church, Fulwood, Sheffield, and has been appointed to the faculty of Kampala Evangelical School of Theology, Uganda.
