<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Respected New Testament scholar and cofounder of The Gospel Coaltion unpacks what the death of Christ means for ministry, emphasizing that it is utterly imperative for the focus to be on what is central--the gospel of Jesus Christ--compelling us to share the Good News of Christ's death and triumph.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this exposition of 1 Corinthians, D. A. Carson presents a comprehensive view of what the death of Christ means in preaching and ministering to God's people. He explains the key biblical principles for dynamic, cross-<br/>centered ministry and how to put the cross at the center of Christian life.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Is the cross truly the center of your ministry?<br/></b><br/>Today the cross is sanitized. It adorns churches, dangles from necklaces, gleams from lapels. Yet in the first century the cross was a grotesque and abhorrent image, a symbol of evil, torture, and shame. <br/><br/>Which of these is the cross that calls us to Christian ministry? The one made of shiny precious metals? Or the one fashioned of rough wood and stained with the blood of Christ?<br/><br/>In <i>The Cross and Christian Ministry</i>, D. A. Carson explains what the death of Christ means for ministry and why the focus of ministry must be on what is central, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through his exposition of 1 Corinthians, Carson explores the issues of factionalism, servant-leadership, and shaping "world" Christians in order to present principles for dynamic, cross-centered worship that compel us to share the Good News.<br/><br/><b>D.
