Preaching the Cross

Recently I've been reading a book entitled Preaching the Cross, and I just can't pull my eyes from the pages! The chapters have been packed full of great insight and sound biblical teaching.

Here is a description of the book from desiringgod.org:

Proclaiming the gospel is without a doubt the most important task of pastoral ministry, yet often other seemingly urgent activities can obscure it. From time to time all pastors and preachers need a fresh reminder of the primacy of the gospel.

Preaching the Cross does just this. It is a call to preaching the gospel as the center of pastoral ministry. This volume showcases an unprecedented combination of pastors representing a variety of evangelical traditions. Though they may differ on some secondary points of church practice, they all enthusiastically celebrate the centrality of the cross of Christ.

Contributors include: John Piper,Mark Dever, J. Ligon Duncan, Albert Mohler, Jr., C. J. Mahaney, John MacArthur, and R. C. Sproul

The next few posts entitled Preaching the Cross will be reflections on each of the seven chapters...
