About this book
What did Jesus mean when he said, "Take up your cross and follow me?"
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the true center of our salvation.
Through a deep and powerfully written examination of Scripture, author Daniel Deutschlander demonstrates that without Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we would be lost. However, because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we now have the promise of eternal life in heaven with him.
That changes everything for us!
The Theology of the Cross will also remind you that since Jesus first loved you, it is now your joy to take up your own cross daily and follow him. What does that look like for you? This book answers that questions and points you to our Savior's cross, which empowers you to live each day for him.
Here's what people are saying about this book:
"The theology of the cross is a matter of urgent, practical concern for every Christian. Beginning with the words of Jesus commanding⌠us to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow him, Professor Deutschlander shows how the path of self-denial, repentance, difficulty, and struggle is the only place where the gospel reveals its true glory and bears its fruit in our lives."
âProfessor Joel D. Fredrich, Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota
"This book warns us of Satan's efforts to turn us from Christ to ourselves. It comforts us with the assurance that the cross of Christ leads to heavenly glory."
âProfessor James F. Korthals, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon, Wisconsin
