Why did Jesus have to die?

I loved this book! It is short, readable and very clear. None of the questions Christians tend to ask about the cross are ducked and are answered with both  Old Testament background and New Testament fulfilment. This book is a gem and I will be buying copies to pass on to others.

Accessible, readable and crystal clear …  this excellent treatment of the cross provides Biblical explanation, contemporary illustration and spiritual nourishment for every reader.  It is particularly valuable in dealing with common misunderstandings and objections. Buy it, read it and give it away!

Christians should never tire of thinking about the cross of Christ and its many implications. Marcus Nodder will stimulate you to understand and appreciate the big issues as they are presented in Scripture and have been debated by believers throughout the ages. His careful attention to detail is matched by an easy and persuasive style of writing, making this a helpful book for personal reading or group study.
