Book excerpt: Last summer a debate raged in the Christian press over penal substitution and the reason for the cross (sparked by Steve Chalke's book, The Lost Message of Jesus). Yet 20 years ago Micheal Green looked closely at this same debate and clearly revealed the full meaning of Christ's death on the cross, how a loving God could deliberately allow his innocent son to suffer, and why it would be futile if it were not followed by his resurrection.
