Product Description
by Hugh Martin (Author)
Death is often thought of as the inescapable terminus of life""something which, in the end, overpowers and conquers us. But in Christian theology, the death of Christ has central significance for our salvation. Christ died victoriously, conquering death and triumphing over his and our enemies. His death is our life.
This glorious truth occupied a large place in the thinking of Scottish theologian Hugh Martin (1822""85). Martin is best known for his mind-stretching books such as The Atonement and The Shadow of Calvary, and for his insightful character study of Simon Peter. But there exists a significant corpus of largely forgotten shorter writings from his pen which major on the significance of the cross of Christ.
This volume brings together a number of Martin's sermons, essays and letters, many of which have not been published since the nineteenth century.
