Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the contemporary tendency to bypass Jesus' crucifixion, addressing the issues and controversies that have caused pastors to speak of the cross only in the most general, bland terms, precluding a full understanding and embrace of the gospel by their congregations. It examines in depth all the various themes and motifs used by the New Testament evangelists and apostolic writers to explain the meaning of the cross of Christ.
