Here are five good books on why Jesus Christ died and what His death accomplished.
- The Passion of Jesus Christ: Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die by John Piper. Packed with more truth per-square-inch than just about any other.
- The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott. A classic theological treatment of the subject.
- Redemption Accomplished and Applied by John Murray. The first five chapters deal specifically with the death of Jesus.
- The Great Exchange by Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington. Comprehensive Biblical study of the atonement. Very well done.
- The Truth of the Cross by R.C. Sproul. A readable introduction.
Tolle lege! (which interpreted means, “Take up and read!”)
