The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross: APOSTOLIC PREACHING OF THE CRO

To understand the significant terms used in New Testament teaching about Christ's death--for example, redemption, covenant, propitiation, justification--Morris sets these words against the background of the Greek Old Testament, the papyri, and the Rabbinic writings as a basis for an examination of them in their New Testament setting.

This modern classic of biblical scholarship explains what the apostles meant when they used such words as "redeem, " "covenant, " "propitiate, " "reconcile, " and "justify." Leon Morris carefully explores these themes against the backgrounds of both Old Testament Judaism and New Testament Christianity -- a rewarding task that results in a more complete understanding of these key Christian terms.
